NASA Policy Includes Mars, Moon Missions

TopSpin writes "The US House of Representatives passed a bill establishing NASA policy for the next two years. The bill is seen as an endorsement of President Bush's Vision for Space Exploration, including returning man to the Moon and eventually Mars. The House struggled with compromising other NASA initiatives against new manned exploration, eventually deciding to expand the budget enough to accommodate both prerogatives. The bill also endorses a servicing and repair mission to the Hubble Space Telescope."

    Karma: Positive (probably because of superiour intellect)

    Hey mister mensa, two things for you:

    - It's spelled superior, not superiour
    - The Slashdot karma ranges from 0 to 50, so it's always positive

    It's a pity there are some humour challenged moderators out there. This was funny.
