It doesn't work that way.  HS changes signature quotes regularly.  It
seems that when people flame about his then current quote, he keeps it
for a bit longer than usual (He's admitted that he's done this on at
least one occasion.); I don't know what he does when people praise the
quote.  So, if you don't like one of his quotes, don't say anything
and it will change.

So, will shuttle development be affected by the (now) predicted 50%
cost overruns in the Superconducting Super Collider?  If Space is
science, then I think it's going to be pushed out by other big science
that doesn't kill people in the course of normal events.  (And a
manned space will kill people; even elevators do.)
