Could the Bush administration find anything more useless for 100 billion
taxpayer dollars. With all the crap going on in this country, do we really
need to see more pictures of rocks? The geeks and nerds can always find
wonderful and interesting discoveries during these excursions, but to the
average citizen it's nothing more than a 100 billion dollar boondoggle.
Scrap these plans before they even "get off the ground".

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With the shuttle fleet grounded and the International
Space Station staffed by a skeleton crew, NASA is set to unveil plans on
Monday to take people and cargo to the moon.
Even before the official announcement, there is criticism from Capitol Hill
over the reported $100 billion cost of the lunar program, given U.S.
government commitments to the Iraq war and recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
