I hate to sound unpatriotic, and this is a long shot... but... what about petitioning NASA to scrap the Bush space plan? I think The Bad Astronomer summed it up pretty good on the front page of the site with "Also, with the amount being spent in Iraq, the timing seems odd to announce such an expensive endeavor" and "But going to the Moon will cost many tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. Where will it come from?"

I'm not saying it should be scrapped indefinitely, but long enough to sort out the nations other matters first. There has to be a way to make Bush and NASA see this is a bad idea at a bad time.

Keep the Hubble. The moon and Mars will still be there. We can wait, atleast I know I can.

Anywho, just my 2 cents worth.
