He's wasting his fry basket money on a internet connection that only leads him to information he can't understand!

Whatever. I'm not stupid, I know that $15bil/year won't get us to Mars.
NASA has announced it's abandoning (err, "shifting its priorities") its
successful unmanned space programs as well as the shuttle to focus on
the alleged Mars mission, and so far Bush hasn't said another word about
it since he announced it and NASA hasn't come up with any plan on how to
get there. Like with the ISS, the cost overrun WILL likely amount to
5000% or more, and with a Mars mission really not possible with anything
less than several hundred billion dollars, the cost overrun will put it
into the trillions of dollars. The public won't accept that, and the
whole project scrapped after "only" eating up a half-trillion or so.

NASA administrators and workers will win, they get paid whether the
project is completed or not, the giant aerospace companies will win
as they charge hundreds of billions of dollars for equipment you can
buy for a few hundred dollars at Home Depot, and Bush wins a few
political points because the project will be cancelled years after he
leaves office. It's amazing that with your fancy degrees in rocket
science, y'all don't understand the basics of the American political
process...
