Yeah what's with not using your real name!?!?!?!?
Um, never mind.
This argument about the Moon or Mars has been going on for so long it's sickening. I for one am glad for Mike Griffin and the VSE. I doubt the VSE will survive a Democratic administration but with the infrastructure for interplanetary travel in place by 2010 something very much like the VSE would replace it. Clearly the intelligent way to go is the Moon first, then an NEA or two, then Mars.
