Actually not a possibility, as the candidate is a wacko even by Alabama standards, which is saying something.
This ties in to something I'm going to talk about in my other rant, so, you know, stay tuned and stuff.
Also, I apologize to Alabama. We are all in this together! [ April 24, 2002, 12:24: Message edited by: Sol System ]

Well, my first reaction was also a big "WTF?" that scared both my cats sleeping in my room.
But upon consideration, funding NASA isn't as bad a cause as some other things that this country's taxes are used for. But then, I'm not that happy with the current NASA management either.
Still, I agree that this candidate must be a wacko. (Working in a supermarket? That's pretty funny...)

Probably fund NASA for a couple of years and then get filtered into the DoD's budget...

Assuming that NASA as a whole doesn't get folded into the DoD as well...seeing where the world is heading, its not that absurd a possibility.

The new guy seems intent on making it into the PR arm of DoD. "Oh! Look! We're sending teachers into space!"

1%? I don't know exactly how much money is involved in the entire SF-industry, but I don't think that one percent of that will be a very significant contribution to NASA.

If there are ten million sci-fi fans in the US, and they all spend at least ten dollars in a year on sci-fi related merchandise (Star Wars crap, Star Trek crap, ID4 crap, whatever), then NASA gets a million bucks.
Not much, true, but ... that's a conservative estimate of how much a sci-fi fan spends in a year on sci-fi crap.
