-and have it squandered by greed, mismanagement and political wrangling.
I believe it is man's destiny to spread out into the universe, but sadly it won't be in my lifetime.
My hope of seeing THAT get in stride had pretty much been destroyed with one exception:
Scaled Composites

What OTHER THINGS is he referring to?

Ted Sorensen helped write this speech; he also served as a speechwriter on the Obama campaign.

Now there's grave danger too, but nothing is clear, all feels like a reality show, a TV drama. Now everything in politics seems empty, except when you are watching West Wing re-runs. Actually, if there's anyone who reached the level of times gone by, that was Aaron Sorkin. It's sad to acknowledge that he was writing fiction.

I think that's Jon Favreau's influence. He's trying to speak to the people and they respond to TV drama stimulus very well, so he uses that.

People couldn't understand why I was so absolutely furious when Obama was proposing to cut NASA's funding. I was very glad to hear him reverse his position. I would have hated to vote McCain just to support my love of science and even more my love of discovery.
Now I just watch politics and look for the slanted keywords, the subtle changes in language to keep people from being outraged at how badly they are being screwed on a daily basis by the government and corporations at large.

Maybe it's a generational thing - maybe our generation really doesn't respond anymore to amazing rhetoric. I think of the political speeches I've heard in my life, and they all pale to what's been said years ago. Oratory just doesn't exist anymore.

Rahm Emmanuel has me in his Rolodex in case he ever needs a synonym for smegma.

I thought they were using the word Cheney for that these days.

You really didint understand what Obama was saying if you thought he was cutting funding for NASA, or that he reversed the decision since he did neither.
He was re-evaluating MANNED exploration, a very legitimate line of reasoning in my opinion given the little scientific benefit of manned spaceflight with our current technology, as well as the high cost in money and human life.
