I heard a radio report on a recent Kerry campaign appearance which included a clip of Kerry saying that we can't afford to go to the Moon or Mars, because we have problems right here.

Great. We're the richest and most powerful nation on the planet.

If not us, who? If not now, when?

Apparently that Third-World Nation, China, is going to do it just fine.

I suspect our status as Richest and Most Powerful Nation is going to be short-lived.

Plus, given the state of the budget deficit, we can't afford to go to Peoria, let alone Mars.
