Tight budget quashes US space ambitions

[marki]

Theres lots of money to be made on aerospace and defense bits and pieces in the US. The republican party has built it into their standard kick start model for the US economy. "I know cletus, we will start a war and all the tax payers dollars can pay for the bits and pieces" ..... and the banjo twangs on into the night. I mean why sell a bolt for a dollar fifty when some fool will pay 3 million because it comes in a box marked "space shuttle spare parts" . I am not saying it is a cheap endevour (squz the pun) but does anyone look at the accounts???

The GAO take great exception to the missing money but they can't do a damn thing about it...not when your political masters have their fingers in the pie. And, not when they're told to mind their own business by the Pentagon and big business.
