Lockstep Movement, which tries to lead goose-stepping masses in knee-jerk
Clinton bashing. I mean, if you're the President and NASA tells you that
they can operate the Shuttle program on far less money (with no less than
Christopher Columbus Kraft telling you so),

I would realize I'm being sold a bill of goods.


AND you're dealing with a
bunch of Republican congressmen who keep threatening to shut down the
government unless you balance the budget, you'd probably cut the Shuttle
budget some, as well...

No, I would have cancelled the International Space Station instead, or
deferred it another 10 years.

There's a stronger case for fully funding the shuttle to continue doing
its job, than for building the ISS at all.
