H,mm I'm with Ken on this one, it smacks of political spin, with words like ..... Flexible.... Deferred....Endorses....goal....fos ter......broad outlines.
Yada yada yada. All this outside of his reign as president.
I've been around long enough, words like law ..... That's L.....A.....W law don't mean much.
Still I'd love to see political correctness go out the door, take some risks, to go boldly.......

Publicly funded agencies must be running scared in the currect financial climate - simply maintaining NASA's measly budget is a victory I think. I hope they keep electing people who are interested in space.
