Coming soon

President Obama is set to address his NASA plan sometime next week.  I am looking forward to being pleasantly surprised.  So far things are not looking good.  Earlier this week NASA Director Charles Bolden equated an increase in the NASA budget with the creation of more jobs.  To me that signals a return to the business of using NASA strictly as a cash cow.  So far the Administrations decision to cut Constellation AND increase NASA's budget can only rate as "horrible."  The only possible positive is the chance to get human rate launchers in the US sooner via the "commercial option."  Time will tell if they can manage that project without turning it into a regulatory fiasco.

I foresee contract requirements to hire a certain number of people with a certain diversity quota.  Basically you must be bloated to play.  Hopefully I am wrong.
