@SciGuySpace It will be even more true tomorrow. They could accelerate it quite a bit by shifting funds from SLS to something useful.1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@Rand_Simberg@SciGuySpace Who's "they"? I'd bet the SLS/Orion numbers coming out of Congress will be higher.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kchangnyt "They" is Congress. I said they could do it, not that they would. They don't really care about Mars.@SciGuySpace1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kchangnyt Depends on how you define "try." Reagan started space station. Both Bushes tried, but not very hard.@SciGuySpace1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes
