“Asked about Bush’s expected call for a costly new effort to return U.S. astronauts to the moon and send them to Mars, Gephardt said that NASA ought to remain focused on the space station. “I think we ought to see this through before we go on to something else,” he said. He also said that with the deficit at $450 billion, the nation’s first priority ought to be job creation.”
