"Spacial Entrepreneur" -- huh.
President Bush had the following to say in his remarks about the space program yesterday at NASA HQ:I want to thank the astronauts who are with us, the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the young of our country. (Applause.)I wonder what the heck a "spacial entrepreneur" is?
Anyway, in all fairness to this President -- a courtesy he deserves for his office even if I *didn't* vote for him -- he did indicate that the end of the Space Shuttle's run is in sight.
The Shuttle's chief purpose over the next several years will be to help finish assembly of the International Space Station. In 2010, the Space Shuttle -- after nearly 30 years of duty -- will be retired from service.I hate to say it, but it's about time. Long overdue. And Bush deserves credit for making the move his predecessors would not make.
