He was blasted by many for the bogus "trillion dollar Mars mission costs". He was blasted by many space advocates because he didn't want to go straight to Mars. He has been pretty well gang tackled by both space opponents and space advocates. Tell me, why should he even give a damn any more about space? All his proposal has done is buy him a lot of bullshit carping from all sides. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if his proposal just dies away, to be followed by nothing.
