Except for this fatal flaw, the roadmap presents a very well balanced menu of cost effective fundamental research programs with high payoff - particularly Earth-Sun connection and the work on comparrative tectonic systems - the grb work also provides fundamental insight into nuclear processes, perhaps with payoff in fusion power generation -

The Mars section is well done, and placed in proper perspective - towards the end of the presentation - although it is too bad that it was not illustrated with the MGS image which Nick located of active CO2 outgassing from the Martian clathrates -

Ed's a nice guy, and I hope in the next hearing he offers the Representatives a better set of options for dealing with the NEO hazard - no, this is not some absurd little insanity on my part, and no, this is no joke -
