Oh well. We can still hope.
I'm glad Bush made that speed. What I'm dreading is that the next Democrat to get elected will drastically reduce NASA's budget and basically wreck Bush's plans for outer space. Hopefully, his plans will survive the next few elections, and maybe my son will be able to become an astronaut and go to the moon or Mars. he's only 3, but one can hope....
