Yes, it's 100% true, but then you and others of your kind simply don't want anything to do with promoting and otherwise sharing the truth. - Brad Guth |

... wrote: The previous administration thought NASA was a great thing to use to study, monitor, understand and protect our own planet. This isn't just a change from the previous administration. The 1958 mission statement included "the expansion of human knowledge of the earth and of phenomena in the atmosphere and space." One reason to go up is to look down. Are these items related? From the New York Times in late January: "In several interviews with The New York Times in recent days, Dr. Hansen said it would be irresponsible not to speak out, particularly because NASA's mission statement includes the phrase "to understand and protect our home planet."" From the New York Times today: "In early February, [NASA's mission] statement was quietly altered, with the phrase "to understand and protect our home planet" deleted." http://illconsidered.blogspot.com/20...ting-dots.html -- Coby Beck (remove #\Space "coby 101 @ bigpond . com") |

And probably take back the White House also in three years. It appears to me Nasa can spend fast enough to lock in the cev, which is fine by me, but the moon mission and beyond have to get past the democratic party. Fat chance. The big issues in the upcoming elections should be immigration, Iraq, gas prices and ....global warming. All are issues that favor the dems. Jonathan s |

Now that I think about it, what we need to do is find a way to connect Nasa with the global warming and energy issues. Make Nasa a campaign issue. It could be plausible to tie Nasa to Iraq as well. As our energy dependence is a part of our involvement in the Middle East. Make Nasa a vehicle for reducing the likelihood of future wars over oil. Restoring the mission to planet earth can be turned into a matter of national security. Food for thought Jonathan s |

What's fine by me is to hurriedly find a replacment for the shuttle. What worries me most is that if the moon and mars missions never happen, will the cev be useless then? Or will it still support the station and other orbital goals that may come along? http://cosmic.lifeform.org |

Imagine our surprise finding out that NASA is not up to the challenge. Rather than accept that challenge, they change the goal. The consolation prize here is that sometimes one has to hit bottom before they realize there's a problem. The political decisions by a few to steer Nasa away from environmental issues, especially the hot one of global warming, is a huge political mistake. Gives the opposition an easy way to undermine any claim the repubs have for their concern over global warming. Which will be a central issue for the next couple of elections. http://cosmic.lifeform.org |
