Well I am glad that the elections are over. I'm tired of all the negative ads...

Well, I hear there's still some islands that haven't been "discovered" yet. Guess I can start my own country and make sure jerks like these two never get to enter in the first place. Or at least shoot down their alien spacecraft BEFORE they can get to Earth.
He mentioned the moon landing! Nerd win!!
:lol:
I was hoping he'd go on to mention a return to the moon... didn't make it that far, though.
Am I the only one around who cried shamelessly during his speech? So did my wife actually. Hope he doesn't let us down...
Space News [subscription req.] is reporting that Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama of Illinois would delay NASA's Constellation program by five years in order to help pay for the $18 billion education initiative he unveiled in a Nov. 20 speech at a high school in New Hampshire.
Sorta goes against what the whole forum is about, but I do (personally) think that America's education system needs the money more than NASA does.
On top of that, imagine the extra money Obama's going to have, just burning a hole in his treasury pocket, after he quit's Iraq.
The 'education system' is one of the few areas of government that can waste money better than NASA. The funny part is that schools get worse and worse and then people demand they're given more money; what possible incentive do they have to improve when they're rewarded for failing?
This would just replace welfare for aerospace engineers with welfare for teachers.
This is pretty exciting, my first year to vote (I'm 19) and it's an election that has made history. I'm shocked it's not even 10 after nine o'clock here and we have the next persident of the United States!
And indeed, cjp. Here's hoping that we, as a country, made the right decision.
