I'm not sure what to think of Obama's NASA policy.

I'm all about the geek. If I could, I would move at least 50% of the defense budget into building better ways for us to travel and explore space. And because I want NASA to develop transporter technologies, too, damn it. I HATE flying!

Anyway, as I understand, he's trying to create a more fiscally conscientious space policy, but he didn't sound too assured about his proposal today, and the response from the group listening seemed lukewarm. I'd prefer to listen to scientists to find out what we need or don't need in regard to space research and exploration and not politicians. To me it feels like Obama is stepping on many toes.
