NASA Watch: Space Science Cut Update (less funding, but Bush is "science friendly")

[Barrett808]

Editor's note: When asked by a reporter about the Administration's interest in supporting science, and the complaints that the science community has raised, Mike Griffin replied "I am bothered by the basic premise of the question". He then went on to explain how there would be less funding for science - and the he had the Bush Administration's backing in making these decisions. "There is nothing at NASA that is not science friendly" he added (whatever that means).

1. Bush speaks from both sides of his mouth

2. Haven't you heard? Bush has "taken the lead" on global warming.

At least, that's what Tony Snow says, and it therefore must be true.

3. I look forward to the new federally-funded Institute of Intelligent Design nt

4. "There is nothing at NASA that is not science friendly" he added (whatever that means).

What that means, is he is lying about space based weapons.

Bush's ONLY interest in space is in militarizing it. Get a big budget space program running, and you can hide all kinds of things in it.
