Senators Blast NASA For Lacking Vision

An anonymous reader writes "A Senate science subcommittee clashed with NASA's chief on Wednesday, saying the agency and the White House lacked a clear vision and goal for the program. Skeptical senators told the space agency that it should not just talk about plans, but set out to do something specific. Lawmakers expressed a bipartisan opposition to the agency's plans and the initiatives of the Obama White House."

    But, does that mean that Obama has to go to Mars to apologize to them directly, or can he do it through a video feed? It would be expensive to send Obama there, along with his two teleprompters (plus backups), plus several reports to laud his historic apolojetic tour across the Solar System. Or would he need more teleprompters because of the lower gravity?
