Bush's fresh interest in space happens to coincide with an election year. A
new bold space initiative, it is thought, could excite Americans.

Bush's father, on the 20th anniversary of the first manned moon landing,
made a similar call for lunar colonies and a Mars expedition. But the plan
was prohibitively expensive - an estimated $400 billion to $500 billion -
and went nowhere.

No one knows what the new venture might cost or how NASA would pay for it.

With a deficit of 500billion, we can do it easy now. Just double the
deficit. We could send him and Dick on a fund-raising trip. They are really
good at that. The priorities however should be
1) get the shuttles back working
2) get the space-station ready

I know, you disagree.
