Isn't that special

Larry J — 12/19/2002 5:05:22 PM (archived)

Who is going to pay for it? There is virtually no support for new manned space projects in Congress, so unless there is a sudden growth in support in the electorate or some other nation (or group of nations) decides to pay for it, it isn't going to happen.

We can fantasize all we want, but like the famous line from "The Right Stuff", "No bucks, no Buck Rogers."
