well, without being too political, take a careful look at the proposals of the administration:(emphases mine)


Among the administration's review of the space program:

• Setting a target for retiring the shuttle fleet

• A plan to phase out the International Space Station

• Picking a new space vehicle for manned flights

• Debating the costs and benefits of a permanent moon base

• Developing a proposal for a mission to Mars.

looks to me what they're really doing is cutting the whole thing back. none of those "proposals" actually entails building anything...

it's all Bushspeak
