Hillary Clinton Declares War on Space Exploration
Recently, Senator Hillary Clinton revealed her science agenda. Of
great interest to people involved in making and debating space policy were the three bullets concerning the space program. To be brief and to the point, Hillary's agenda would be terrible news for anyone who supports space exploration and space commerce. http://www.associatedcontent.com/art..._on_space.html |

"Travel to the Moon or Mars 'excites people,' she said, 'but I am more focused on nearer-term goals I think are achievable.'" end quote This emphasizes more science goals, rather than... well I do not know what the current plan emphasizes, at least it is surely neither knowledge nor science. |

She's planning an ambitious space exploration program, reversing funding cuts to NASA's R&D budget, and funding NASA's Earth Sciences program, and this is "declaring war on space exploration," is it? Out of curiosity, what would you call it if she proposed to actually *reduce* NASA's budget? -- "Polywell" fusion -- an approach to nuclear fusion that might actually work.

Since no one seems to be talking much at the present time about "righteous women" in the government, except possibly by the personification of Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State, which WAS itself at the time of her appointment, the "politically correct" thing for George W. Bush to do, and now becomes the "Hillary Rodham" thing to do, seems to be based upon masking something much more sinister. None of these people to me represent anyone yet "worthy" enough to represent a hard-core "replacement technology" in the field of energy technology, and you can bet for sure, that space exploration IS FULLY CAPABLE OF EXPLOITING THAT TECHNOLOGY TO THE FULLEST. Isn't that where our prejudices truly lie as a spacefaring nation? I believe that these two women would rather see us as a third world police state than a third world promise market. Any further streamlining of our energy policies at home and abroad with the invalidation of any promise market of replacement technology, will render the future energy economy inert. American |

You're a crackpot libertarian, do your own damn space commerce. The rest of us happen to have a planet we feel we need to take care of. |

Under H. Clinton, Orion would be limited to ISS support only. Possible scrapping of Ares entirely in favor of EELV launch. The 2015 ISS withdrawal date will be rescinded, but she won't offer much to improve/expand ISS for the outyears, either. We'd never see Ares V get started in her administration. NASA budget will be flatline, at best, but very likely cut every year except election years, just as her husband did. Then again, Dubya hasn't done much more than this, either. He's officially for exploration but has done almost nothing to support that goal (and has chastised/threatened veto of Congress for trying to fund the program he initiated.) Honestly, this entire crop of candidates, Dem and Rep, is so completely unimpressive, I still have no clear idea who I will vote for. Brian |

Brian ONE DAY after Golda Meir signed the Israeli declaration of independence on May 14, 1948, Israel was attacked by joint forces from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan, and Iraq. How long will it be after Bush's peace pact is forced on Israel, who, after relinquishing the West Bank to Palestinian control, when it is finally decided that the terms of this peace is actually an act of war against Christianity?
