Saving NASA. Pity, that.

Ugh: the pols aren’t going to let the bloated NASA bureaucracy’s deeply unimaginative return-to-the-moon program die.  I have to give Barry credit for trying to cancel  Constellation in favor of private enterprise. Even former Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin likes the idea.

Which is not to say I expect the anti-business president to do much for commercial space. But just killing the space agency’s behemoth would be a good start. The pols, of course, see only pork they cannot afford to lose lest the voters force them out and they have to find real jobs.
