Oh space is not ny only issue but I do think it is an important one. Just looking at the differences in their space policies IMHO tells a lot about the canidates and their stands. Clinton's space people oppose efforts to reduce costs. They prefer to stick with older and more expensive systems. They also want to keep the government in firm control of the entire program. This unimaginative attitude seems to go hand in hand with Clinton's other programs and positions. >I, personally, vote for what I think is best for the >society in general and not just my individual interests. Me too. I have absolutely no personal interest in space. I am not employed by NASA or any space related effort. I will not profit by any particular space policy.
