[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] I was careful in my post to say that the people on the board, not myself, believe that NASA had other motives. There are some who distrust NASA more than I. Looking at the budget for this coming year, Pres. Bush proposes a decrease in spending for the shuttle program, than a modest increase in spending for the shuttle program. In terms of inflation, the increase is 1.5 of inflation. Any increase which is 2.0 of inflation is a good thing; an increase of <2.0 is not a good thing. Amusingly, this budget makes no allowance for war in Iraq or North Korea. Wishful thinking? I have read coverage in Newsweek and Time. There is no coverage of the incident in US News and World Report. The DOD, who receive more money for their space program, are less interested in a manned program. They are looking at an increased presence in space by Americans through the utilization of unmanned recon and defensive space vehicles. Seeing how our country is headed, I will argue that their approach is the future, not NASA's two programs of manned and unmanned. Our nation is moving away from risking people's lives in combat. I heard on NOVA that the F-35, the JSF, may be the last jet fighter with a human fighter in our arsenal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
