Default It's none of my business but...

I think it's a shame that the politicians in the US are starting up the
moon landing missions in the way they are. I think the problem is one of
tenure.

The present administration is wrapping things up asap in order to get
the show on the road before they are levered out of office. The first
casualty is the Hubble it would seem.

Actually it all began a long time ago when the architects for the
original shuttle had their noses ringed by committees for degeneracy.
Too many cooks spoiled the broth with that thing -rather like the what
the Russians did with the MIR.

Rather than hold off until a concensus has offered a wish list for the
Shuttle's replacement (Dream machine choice number one: give overall
control to someone who knows what he's doing. Not bloody likely I know;
but I can dream can't I?) Mr Bush and etc., are scrambling all their
eggs in that one basket called "Let's go to the moon, boys."

I wonder what the "boys" at NASA really think. Another shambles in the
making?
