And for something totally “funny,” read this story on NASA's dip into fantasy:
Apparently NASA’s administrator made a statement that sounded like an endorsement of Rep. DeLay. If so, it would be a violation of the Hatch Act. Never mind that. Look at the FACTS.
If Mr. DeLay has been such a good friend to NASA, why are our astronauts still riding around in 25-year-old Space Shuttles with 1970’s technology, when DeLay has been in office 22 of those years?
That’s like crowing you got the best Model T’s in town when the rest of the world drives SUV’s. With Congressional friends like that who needs enemies? Had a real "space nut" been in office that long, astronauts would be riding around in the equivalent of hybrid SUV's by this time...instead they remain grounded, waiting on more patches for the Model T...

I was referring to the first car (Model T) vs. the first shuttle.
Cars have gone to hybrid power but our folks are still riding the same old machine, built with 70's technology. Sorry to confuse you with all that symbolism.
My point is that if you are in office you keep American ahead of the game. The Chinese are riding in newer space vehicles than Americans...duh!
I think his past focus has been on lobby money and power than thinking about next generation space technology...
But thanks for the thoughtful commentary.
