Out Of This World

Congratulations to NASA on the successful landing of the rover Spirit on the surface of the planet Mars. In the spirit of bipartisanship, Presidential candidate Wesley Clark, in a press release, also congratulated our space agency:

Spirit is an example of how, working together, government, private industry, and NGO's can advance science, education, and our economy, all at a reasonable cost. We need leadership that supports sensible investments in space technology.

Howard Dean, in contrast, stated that NASA's successful landing of Spirit on Mars "had not made the United States safer."

I don't know Howard, I don't see any terrorists in this picture. Maybe the European Space Agency's Beagle 2 wasn't so lucky.
