Expected to Speak At Wright Centennial Celebration
We've been hearing solid rumors for a while that President Bush
was going to make an appearance at the heavily hyped 100th
Anniversary Wright Flight celebrations in North Carolina less than
two weeks hence. While the most intriguing/frustrating aspect of
this, until recently, was the inevitable TFR that would be forced
upon Kitty Hawk and ground every aircraft for miles around; another
(far more positive) story is starting to emerge.
A number of sources
indicate that President Bush is going to use the Centennial event
to suggest an aggressive new effort to return the US to a more
prominent role in the pioneering of space travel... specifically
with a specific goal that we turn our resources to
mount return trips to the moon, including possible
colonization. Further; the effort may be suggested as a
precursor to a much-talked-about Mission To Mars and complete a
number of the plans and goals suggested by his Father in a
1989 speech given on the 20th Anniversary of the first Moon
Landing.
To lend some perspective, one must note that it's been
over 30 years since any human being walked on the moon -- and
that more than half our population was born after that heady
event. In light of this; many are questioning whether Bush
has the personal wherewithal or the political capital to suggest
and mount such an effort. Meanwhile, for proponents of a more
aggressive US Space Program, the next few days may be pivotal...
we'll keep you updated.
