Perhaps, Republicans support manned spaceflight more than Democrats, and
Democrats support unmanned spaceflight (climate models, astronomy, science
in general). Whereas, manned spaceflight is viewed as an extension of the
military to some degree, unmanned is more for pure science.

Which is kind of odd, since the majority of the military's use of space is
for communications and intelligence gathering by unmanned satellites.
