That Vision Thing Update
The coming-and-going of the centennial flight anniversary and the shift of focus with all the attention to the Spirit landing has somewhat quieted the rumors that Bush is planning an announcement soon of a new vision for spaceflight, but Space.com has an article discussing the impact that the so-far-succesful Spirit mission will have on public attitude toward such an announcement. Also, questions about space policy were raised during White House press conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday, during which Press Secretary Scott McClellan had the following to say: "There's no update to what the President has previously said and what I have previously said, that, as you are aware, in the aftermath of the tragic Columbia accident, the President asked -- or directed his administration to review our space policy, and that is where it stands. ... The review has been moving forward, and I have no additional update at this time. " I would reiterate that the President is a strong supporter of the exploration of space. And there are many benefits that we have realized from exploring space."
