a while back someone asked about the positions of the various
presidential candidates on space research. well, in his book "A Step
Farther Out" (somewhat old news, but **highly** recommended for those
who have not yet read it), Jerry Pournelle states that "...Vice
President Mondale while a Senator each year introduced a bill to
***KILL NASA ENTIRELY*** (emphasis mine), abolish all its research and
developement..." i very much doubt that his ideas have changed too
much since that was written, or we would have heard about it by now.
