All are issues that favor the dems.

Well, that's good news regardless of what happens to NASA -- which I'm
thinking is of only marginal relevance to space development in the 21st
century anyway.

But, if global warming does become an important issue, then it could be
very good for space development. Perhaps NASA could be, at least
partly, directed to research & develop space solar power, and to deliver
this technology to the commercial sector as quickly as possible. Surely
some good would come of that.
