    We have been interested in what he had to say since he first turned the spotlight on NASA and appointed Augustine to investigate.

    If his Speech today has SOMETHING new,It will break ALL records for Launch posponements:D

    and THAT is not TRIBALelectrification:p:)

    Today's the day. I fear he will have no good news as far as human spaceflight is concerned. A lot of "challenges and exciting prospects for the future" but no concrete commitments:(

    Hope I'm wrong:)

    Ha Ha Leo , you always make me laugh ;) Cant wait to see what ynotdus gonna say when he reads this hahaha

    Was it a farewell drink for Your baby Atlantis ? Awwwwwwwwwww LL :):D;):p:o:rolleyes:

    That's it,i was celebrating Atlantis' final rollover to the VAB!:D

    I still stand by what i said though,Aldrin's always bugged me,mention the moon and he turns up. Armstrong has always been much more humble about it all. I think i'm just biased towards Aldrin tbh.

    I'm not expecting much Beeker,a bit of spin,"USA has a brighter future" etc. etc.

    Sounds good guys... I mean, retaining Orion in some form. I think that the moon mission originally planned was just too elaborate to go ahead with (the Orion, Ares, Altair moon lander mission).

    It seems that Obama can do no wrong these days. It has taken a year into his presidency but he's making big changes recently - fair play to the guy.

    Im here in my labcoat - all bright, shiny, and white.

    ...back to work..

    That's true but if you develop the capability of a manned craft even if only for emergeny use, it would not take much to man rate a booster to fly it, say an upgraded Delta. It gives hope:)

    Aldrin in the paper again today:http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2010-04-15-column15_ST2_N.htm

    At least he admits the STS programme should continue until a succesor is developed.
