Clearly Kerry has no understanding of Hi-Def fight, what occured there, or it's revenue potential, which is about zero right now

oh well, might as well have clean skies, so Airbus can sell more planes - pure aeronautic research is likely to benefit competitors as well, unless it is somehow managed

its going to be a long slog back to the Moon - first freeing funds by transitiioning from the shuttle, second bringing in international partners to pick up part of the tab

the problem is demonstrating the need - which reminds me, I have to get back to work
