Believe it or not, some kids could care less about the educational process if not for the high and lofty goals of someday exploring Mars and beyond. I was a counselor for Space Camp here in Huntsville, AL for two years and I go to school here for Aerospace Engineering. I couldn't begin to comprehend majoring in anything else as far as I'm concerned. We talk about trying to stay focused on the important issues at hand, but try and inspire a 6-year old to become good at math so that someday he can "lower the deficit". It just ain't happening. Given my experience I can tell you that for every dollar spent on space exploration it becomes $7 back into improved technology. Case in point: School buses have been manufactured much stronger for the last two decades as a result of structural engineering techniques originally applied to the Space Shuttle. You may remember a horrific bus crash here in Huntsville last year when a bus full of students fell forty feet off an overpass. It killed 4 students. Fortunately, it didn't kill any more than that. I think anybody up there on that stage realized there are more immediate concerns in our country, and that the majority of anyone's time as president is going to be spent on those concerns. But given the fact that President Bush's announced plans for the Vision for Space Exploration almost four years ago caused NASA to get its head out of its rear, close up unneeded programs, and shuffle around alot of its personnel and infrastructure, which basically changed the entire career landscape of engineering communites like Huntsville, it was a pretty darn important question. Please think about that before you make yet another uneducated post about what the "important" issues are. Oh, and enjoy riding the bus.

He says this and he was (is) a Baptist minister. Maybe he missed something during his stay at the seminary. Maybe that is the reason he is no longer guiding a Church, he has changed his spots and now is in the process of dividing and conquer, carrying on the vision of Bush.
