Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars...let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars...
As opposed as I am to his other initiatives, Bush's space proposal has my almost undying support. I know we have homeless in the United States that could use our assistance, but the scientific advances that could be made in the attempt to land a man on Mars could far outweigh a few street-corner deaths. Seatbelts, satellite TV, bar coding and smoke detectors are all things that the space program have given the modern world thanks to the dream of "the final frontier."
