Back in 2008 Obama and McCain sent pretty high falootin reps to Boulder for a debate on Space Policy. I did the YouTube edit for the Mars Society and I knew from the mixing sessions that there was no banking on either side.

I think that both of them, through their reps and from their own mouths at the time, had no real intention of standing up for their Space related campaign schpeels, but probably McCain would have done more to at least keep Humans in the mix, whereas Obama made it clear as a bell all along that "Health Care Is This Generation's Apollo."

To put it out there: I voted for Obama anyway, because NASA was a lost cause from both but there was a Supreme Court seat that had to be held for equality's sake.

But what about this time? Pretty much I firmly believe that every single one of the options on both sides are liars. Flat out and about everything every time they open their mouths. Well, except for one...

Looking for some history of Ron Paul's personal feelings towards Space work (and NOT just about NASA, that is important to me, that "NASA" and "Space" not be considered interchangeable), I dug around and came up with his Space Ship One speech from the Congressional Record in 2004.

Hmmmmm.
