Apparently a rumor that Obama would kill the space program (so -hint hint - vote for McCain - hint hint) has been circulating through NASA. A fraternity brother of mine who works at the Johnson Space Center in Houston was absolutely frantic about it. Unfortunately, he neglected to check it out for himself. I checked it out online in a few seconds and found that Obama is very much in favor of continuing the space program. In fact, John Glenn supports Obama and his program.
I don't know where McCain stands on the issue, the relevance of which is becoming less and less every day.
Cheerfulgreek, I was amused by your comment about astronauts landing on the moon eons ago, since I watched (live and in person) the last two Apollo missions (Apollo 16 and Apollo 17) launch from KSC. In a way, it does seem like eons ago. I was initiated two days after Apollo 16's return to earth. Apollo 17 was a night launch in December, just before Christmas Break.
