Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the earth-to-president dept.

edmunz writes "Foxnews just placed an article on their website saying that Bush is expected to make an announcement towards the middle of next week, proposing a manned mission to Mars as well as a return to the moon. Bush hopes to spark a renewed public interest in space exploration. No mission would happen any time soon, rather a preparation of over a decade would take place before the first men/women set out to explore Mars."

    Much of that though was due to JFK's tragic death. Perhaps Bush is intending to emulate that too :)

    Sure, after we send the Clintons, Tom Daschale, Barbara Boxer, Barbara Streisand, Madonna and that pinko phoney Howard Dean. If you hate Bush so much vote him out. If you're not an American you can't do anything about it :)
