What a wonderful time to be involved in astronomy. Congratulations to NASA and the President for engaging all to consider space an opportunity for our continued exploration. I look forward to the day, when I can share with my children the joy and wonder of watching a human being land on the moon once again. And if we go to Mars, I will stare with utter amazement and be overwhelmed with pride. While the questions still remain, how and how much. For today, I will enjoy the dream....

Well Jay, I can understand your pride and all. I don't want to sound too critical but is $500 Billion worth that small feeling in your chest? Where do suppose that money is going to come from? Your children and my grand children are going to pay for it not GWB. I'd feel alot more pride about taking care of business here for a fraction of that. I say, lets provide some folks(us)with the nessecities of health care, clean air, food and water for starters.
Another fact is that the first 11 billion is coming from NASA's own programs...do you think the next space telescope is going to survive those budget cuts and revenue shift? Not.
