No Vision Today, Thank You From USA Today: President Bush will visit Kill Devil Hills, N.C., Wednesday to help celebrate the centennial of the first flight. But he won't announce plans to resume manned flights to the moon. From Fox News: President Bush did not include such a statement in his Wednesday speech at the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first air flight, as some analysts expected, but the White House may be poised to make such an announcement soon. Also: Howard McCurdy, chair of the department of public administration at American University, agreed that Mars is the goal, but he doesn't expect the president to issue one grand space challenge. Bush is more likely to issue a series of objectives, perhaps during his State of the Union speech, than to make a big policy pronouncement, he said. From The Washington Post: Despite a clamor in some quarters for Bush to announce a new space exploration initiative today, on the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first flight, the White House said repeatedly that unveiling a major initiative is not on the day's agenda. From The New York Times: When President Bush decides on a new policy of space exploration for the nation, the goals will be realistic and achievable, the NASA administrator, Sean O'Keefe, said on Tuesday.
