"WASHINGTON – The White House has eliminated funding for a mission to
service the Hubble Space Telescope from its 2006 budget request and
directed NASA to focus solely on de-orbiting the popular spacecraft at
the end of its life, according to government and industry sources."

I told you so.

Classic Friday afternoon cancellation.
They are hoping that everyone forgets about this on Monday.

What did you expect?

Bush gets his 'science' from his Bible.

Time to write our senators and representatives.

A wise woman once said: "The Bible is a fine book but so many others have
been written since then".

Expect more such news in at leats both 2006 and 2007 bugets, even more so

NASA's budget is increasing, it's very hard to lay the blame
of this on the war. Unless, of course, you prefer to lay the
blame of everything on the war, and the blame of the war on
Bush.

"Argh! Runny eggs again! Stupid war! fist pumping toward
the sky DAMN YOU BUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!"

So how many Hubbles, how many missions (perhaps even manned) to Mars
could be paid for with the billions we've spent on our "mission" in the
Middle East?

None.

It's ultimately a matter of political will. If enough folks really wanted a
manned mission to Mars, the money would have been found.
