Listening to the president talking about his new NASA vision
Just emphasize how far ahead this man is from the country he leads. It's like he's living in 2050 and this country is stuck in 1950.

4. Increasing NASA budget $ 6 billion despite there being a general freeze
on discretionary spending.

And then he goes into a lot of detail, point by point how they are changing the priorities and working with the private sector.

6. Watching now on C-SPAN... he's addressing Glenn Armstrong's "concerns" now...
... without mentioning the whiner, of course.

"We've been there before. Buzz has been there before."

:rofl:

9. It was very inspirational! Neil Armstrong needs to get out of the 60's
and move into the new century.
