I assume that's the case, yes.
I think this whole program has the life expectancy on a mayfly come
November 7, 2008, if not sooner.

Although a replacement for the shuttle doesn't have to wait.
I bet they make the CEV work somehow. By reducing the
crew maybe, which might be a clue it's not meant for
the moon anymore. Although I defer to all of you on
the rocket science stuff.

It's just what we do with the new hardware, George W
shouldn't be allowed to decide. He's just not qualified.
I bet our President hasn't spent more than half a day /in total/
discussing/reading/meeting about the future of NASA.
