H.R. 3057: To the Asteroids, Moon and Mars
apsmith writes "Democrats have just introduced the Space Exploration Act of 2003 to the U.S. House of Representatives; the author is Nick Lampson of Texas, with 26 co-sponsors. The bill sets a vision and goals for the future of NASA, beyond the Low Earth Orbit of the Space Station and Shuttle, outlining a series of incremental steps for human spaceflight. These include development of reusable spacecraft for carrying people around in the Earth-Moon vicinity, including to the nearby Lagrange points; sending people to an Earth-crossing asteroid; establishing a lunar base, and sending people to Mars with a base on a Martian moon by 2024."
Please, send Senator Orin Hatch on the Earth-crossing asteroid mission. The guy is a space-cadet already!

What they need to do is say there are terrorists with WMD massing on the moon. Then NASA can get $87 million too.
Yeah men's college basketball and football have been completely wiped out of existence. I remember when you used to be able to watch those games on television!
Sounds good to me, just don't do any transdimensional experiments up there.
who are those slashdot people? they swept over like Mongol-Tartars.
I'm glad to see something new for manned spaceflight. The shuttle missions are not as insipiring as they used to be. I'm going to write my congresswoman Linda Sanchez to propose a Battle School for the bill, just in case we find any buggers on Mars.
Honk if you're horny.
Get thing, want send thing to space.
Thing heavy, need fuel and vehicle. Mainly fuel.
Oh no. Vehicle and fuel expensive. Total energy cost to move mass won't listen to my personal bullshit.
Blame on lazy bastards at NASA. Where perpetual motion machine I ask for?
Grunt. Snort. Fart. Belch.
