CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (March 4) - U.S. space pioneer John Glenn said on Thursday
that President Bush's space exploration plan "pulls the rug out from under our
scientists" and might waste too much money to ever put astronauts on Mars.

"I think we're voluntarily stopping some of the most unique, cutting-edge
research in the history of the whole world."
-John Glenn

Glenn, a retired Democratic senator from Ohio and the first U.S. astronaut to
orbit the Earth, said NASA should not abandon research on the International
Space Station and questioned the advisability of using the moon as a stepping
stone to Mars.

His stinging rebuke of the Bush plan came in testimony before the presidential
commission charged with developing a strategy for building a permanent base on
the moon, then sending astronauts on to Mars. The commission met at
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Glenn's home state of Ohio.

"Glenn, a retired Democratic senator..."

I guess "Professor Midnight" wants us to believe that there is no such thing
as partisan politics.

Prove it!
And thanks for admitting you're still ticked about little Mary Jane
Rottencrotch going to the prom with someone else. Just as we suspected . . .

The same John Glen who got a payoff from Bill Clinton for obstructing Senate
hearings? The One who benefitted from the spare no expense space program that
ddn't really need a human to go into space?

John Glen the Democrat?

Why would anybody be surprised that he's now joined the rest of the Bush is to
blame for anything that goes wrong crowd?
