I've been staying away from this topic, for obvious reasons, but there are a couple of points about Bush's Space initiative from yesterday that I can't let go. So let's get going:
Yet the human thirst for knowledge ultimately cannot be satisfied by even the most vivid pictures, or the most detailed measurements. We need to see and examine and touch for ourselves.
Is he addressing NASA, or the Greater San Fernando Valley Porn Grower's Association? Granted, that may say more about where my mind is than his intentions, but I don't think it's a stretch.
We may discover resources on the moon or Mars that will boggle the imagination, that will test our limits to dream.
Hey, he might even find those pesky WMD that he's been looking so hard for.

Also, where the heck did the term "spacial entrepreneurs" come from? Doesn't that sound like some kind of interior decorator or something?

What kind of idiot would refer to an astronaut as a "spacial entrepreneur?" That's like a lame joke P.C. term they'd make up on Mad T.V. . . .
