I think it's highly unprobable, it would humiliate the US just when China India & Russia are getting their manned programs well underway.But above all i wish for all of America that McCain doesn't win because if he does, then get ready for even more military-industrial sponsored wars, instability and poverty both at home & out there.I think the whole world will judge the US this autumn based on the result of the election ; either a close-minded rednecky warmongering country or a country that realized the gigantic mistakes that have been made since 2000 and wishes to appease its population & the rest of world.Seriously, a nam vet as president?! ;-) That would be as populist as it can get and a complete validation of the previous administration's policy. And it would spread even more anti-americanism around the world, and not just in the "middle east".Space is the best uniting solution we have right now. Barrack'd better not under-estimate that.

Spend more now, get further down the line and perhaps it would be more difficult for him to scrap these important programmes??von Dawson's ExpressPS Best of luck for Sunday NASA!

Where is the rest of the money going? Does spending correspond to responsible, thoughtful, strategic plans to further space exploration? Probably not if your space agency has a cozy relationship with politicians who think science is another political debate. Encourage the private sector instead.

Although development of Ares shouldn't be accelerated because it might result in a improper build. Wow this is great!
