Since the Florida primary is today, has anyone down there heard any of

policies would be, if known.
If having to make due on 10% of what's necessary for sustaining the
NASA status quo, as such you can pretty much forget about
accomplishing the most basic of local space explorations, as otherwise
lucky enough if we can even manage to keep half of our Earth science
satellites up and running.
Outside of our DoD and MI5/CIA doing whatever and as much as they damn
well please, of which we minions still get to pay for everything,
whereas the best we can otherwise hope for is private stuff getting
affordably deployed via China.

Jeez, is this to infer that any and/or all candidates are just
another crony of the last one's official NASA policy while in
office? That's a real shame, and I thought the American people
might have at least "token" input to the way our country was
headed, at least with our great public servants, whoever they
might be.
It would seem that any or all of google "android" types get
programmed just like the borg of the bureaucracy does - dead
on site - so are we to believe that what many in formidable
political positions of power are able to conclude about
some of the most fantastic and implementable projects ever
conceived by a human mind for the benefit of all mankind
have been reprobated at the mercy of some space cop from inside
the Washington beltway? ... Nope, it's not our problem that
the Federal Reserve needs a retrofit - that's been known for
at least about 150 years!
So go back and tell all the Mandarin bureaucrats who have
written themselves a blank check for the next millenia that
they weren't here first - the colonists were. Their ideas came
first, along with inventors like Benjamin Franklin, then the
cronies came to screw us blind when the Federal Reserve got
created, screwing everything up for the rest of us "metered"
types, then came second class technology, then came the greatest
banishment of yankee ingenuity that this country, and the rest
of the civilized world, has ever known.
But we're still here, tending the fires, and if you care to
tell us a story of some great adventure in a far away land,
somebody might feel brave enough to launch back with a story
of their own.
