Post 9/11 does anyone here really believe Bush/Cheney gave a
crap about NASA except for what it could do for the military
and national security?

The Pentagon stripped NASA of all the cutting edge launch
technology, leaving NASA's manned program with nothing more
than the 'dead-on-arrival' Vision for Space Exploration.
Which is certain to inspire no funding at all from this administration.

Y'all were screwed, and most of you don't even realize it!

Meanwhile, the Pentagon roles out a shiny new prototype
no doubt chock full of all the projects that mysteriously were
'canceled' after Bush took office. They were all duds
everyone insists, yet fail to comprehend the military would
get to cherry pick the best under Bush/Cheney, not settle
for the crap that won't fly.

Canceled? No, you rubes, it was all transferred to the military
black budget.


Not true fool. What cutting edge technology? NASA wasn't working
anything that was transferred.
