Halliburton will be sucessful in privatizing NASA, with massive gov't subsidies. Those subsidies will come from both investing Social Security in Halliburton directly, and using future Social Security benefits to purchase augers, rocket fuel and "astro-roughneck" meals.

ISS will be converted to dorms for the use of "astro-roughnecks". Hubble will be renovated and used to survey Mars for indications of subsurface oil.

The existing laws restricting the use of DDT will be relaxed for areas over 50 KM above AMSL.

Agent Reddish-Orange will be sprayed over selected bands of Mars, leaving "vast areas unaffected for the exclusive study of scientists" and as a wildlife refuge for "native Martians". The "native Martians" will be said to be happier in their new "digs", as the environment will rapidly become warmer and have more CO2, upon which they are said to thrive.

Probes will be "augered in" as fast as possible in a manner which will minimize any possible effect upon surface or subsurface organisms outside a radius of 6 km. Cheney will call it a "kinder, gentler drilling", clearly faster, with a minimal effect upon the atmosphere. It will also save retro-rocket fuel, which is purchased with Social Security, and therefore be an enormous benefit to the American public.

The natural gases will be mixed with oxygen derived from the fermentation of surface critters and burned in a "thousand points of light". That fermentation after the spraying of Agent Reddish-Orange will be described as "a natural process which is beneficial to the entire planet", allowing the critters to breed faster and speeding adaptation to their new environment.

Halliburton will sell oil to the US gov't. The price will be cost-plus, a number which will be derived not factoring in the subsidies as subsidies, and will not include transportation.

Halliburton will offer to lease storage space for the oil thusly acquired by the US gov't on Mars in the depleted wells, pumping it back.

Cheney will retire to Barbados, which he has just purchased from Blair, along with a lifetime contingent of 1,697 Secret Service agents and Blair. Every Halloween he will personally answer the door, scaring a selected band of small children who will get a Mars bar for their effort.

GWB will continue to be President-for-Life, which he got by purchasing the Bahamas for Scalia, Thomas and 3 more appointees after three more liberal Justices mysteriously got mailed anthrax.

Oh, happy day.
