nasa has approximately an $11bn budget currently, and he promised that
he would ask congress for another $1bn, spread out over the next five
years, to fund this initiative. that's $200m a year. WHOOPITYDOO.

Alot of thought has gone into the Bush plan.
If you dont like Bush fine, but dont beat up this plan

Weve got a very good shot at this.

He worked at NASA once and he is a Democrat if that
