Rudy is not exactly on my short list. But I am convinced that the nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history.

I hope ALL the candidates will support NASA and vision for space exploration as strongly as this.

I hope ALL the candidates will support NASA and vision for space exploration as strongly as this.

I do too, but more importantly I hope the next president appoints a NASA administrator that would consider for a second that they could be wrong. Rather than giving us the shaft (in more ways than one).

DIRECTly to the Moon and Mars.

[SoConPubbie]

Just go away already Rudy!

[claudiustg]

Many of us would like to see Giuliani sent to the moon, McCain, too!

[FoxInSocks]

Simply sounds like pandering to me, but who knows.

[Deo volente]

The Moon??? That’s so 70’s...BORING!
Been there, done that, nothing there.

I think Fred ought to come out tomorrow and call for sending a man to Mars.
That would really be exciting!

[stockstrader]

What other pandering can he come up with? Didn’t he recently come up with some sort of pandering when it comes to a form of Federal home insurance that would benefit Floridians disproportionately? Geeez, he might as well just stay down there.

[WOSG]

I say we send a WOMAN to the Moon.

And I have the perfect one - Hillary!

[Salamander]

ALL of NASA or just some astronauts?

[ExpatGator]

Rudy? Rudy who?

[Moonman62]

Rudy is saying anything to get the Florida vote. He’s running ads promising to lower insurance rates too.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I hope that as we are taxed for all of this science, we have a definite and measurable goal as we blithely go back to space.

Other than pandering to the aerospace industry, what would be Guiliani’s top three goals for a a return to the moon?

I’ll bet he hasn’t worked that out.

[SatinDoll]

Okay. Fine. Lets go to the Moon, go to Mars, but all the money is in Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) and in the Asteroid Belt. Why?

Plantinum Group Metals (PGMs, or PeGgyMays). One average sized asteroid contains enough PeGgyMays to equal the World’s Annual Gross Product!!!

The mining and processing can be done in space - a vacuum with zero gravity and unlimited solar power - saving Earth from the pollution of mining waste products.

Going into space is ridiculous unless it becomes lucrative. There are many high tech applications for PeGgyMaes but a drastic shortage here on Easth as the metals are formed hearer the Earth’s core.

[ajay_kumar]

We have enough moon rocks from the last few trips.

[annelizly]

Oh yeah. THATS what we need to spend money on.

[endthematrix]

Doesn’t NASA have a timetable that is forecast way past the next decade? Bush already pimped the Mars missions. Must get those subcontracting machine shops working again!

[stormer]

The Moon? What the heck does that have to do with 9/11?

[Antoninus]

Good grief, what a pandering loser.

[Dick Bachert]

Not if we send Rudy back to NY first.

[Waco]

Rooty & algore, go up on our next unmanned rocket.

[Disciplinemisanthropy]

ron paul is probably vowing to send NASA to the moon for the first time.

hahahahahahahahaha

seriously though, send NASCAR to the moon
