Comments on SM4 Hubble Servicing Mission?

Your comments thus far: It’d be crazy to let Hubble die and spend a fortune on sending a Man to Marsinstead. Hubble fulfills NASA’s prime mission, while Mars fulfills Bush’sprimary mission, i.e. getting reelected. And if we can’t afford to get acouple mechanics up in orbit, which is something we’ve been doing for 40years, how (or why) do we get the same guys to Mars? Given recentdevelopments, NASA should (absolutely) […]

Dems continue to dump on bush space plans

11 January 2004: Dean catches flak over record on minorities, St Louis Post Dispatch Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio turned a question on the space program into a platform of canceling President George W. Bush’s tax cuts, bringing troops home from Iraq and slashing the Pentagon budget.

Comments on President Bush's new space policy?

Your comments thus far: With all due respect to space advocates who view the new space policy as a positive thing, I am a space advocate who sees it in an entirely different light. I look at the same policy and see a shutdown of U.S. human spaceflight in 2010. Beyond that, there is an incredibly unchallenging timeline for retuning to the Moon. This bold vision is no more than […]
