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."

Ummm, basketball and football aren't the only sports available for men to play. At my university, we couldn't have a men's gymnastics team or volleyball team. And I went to a rather large public university (40,000 students). At smaller colleges with less funding, sports such as wrestling, soccer, and swimming get the axe. In my highschool, we had 200 guys sign a petition to get a men's vball team going, but the administration said they couldn't.
