Is Bush waiting for X-Prize before deciding NASA's future?

But will his decision matter if all America's high-tech jobs get
exported to India? Maybe that's the best solution: have NASA step aside
so that private industry in India can do the job right.

I doubt it. Although a successfull flight to suborbital space with a budget
less than $10million may lead to difficult questions from Congress.
