Why don't we both be honest
Neither one of us likes cuts in space exploration. We can both make excuses for our man doing it. Yeah Clinton pissed me off by cutting NASA but Bush has pissed me off far more especially by proposing to cut Europa Orbiter. I was pissed off enough when it was delayed. So far Bush has done nothing for space other than cut and slash. Some of it justified. Some of it outright ignorant.
