Letter From Sen. Harry Reid to President Obama Regarding the U.S. Space Program

Holy Freakin' Crap - I actually agree with Harry Reid on something. Namely, this:

I am writing to express my strong support for the US. space program and encourage you to ensure its economic vitality in the coming years. Our space program is a cornerstone of our nation's leadership in innovation and technological superiority. The achievements and discoveries of the engineers and scientists in our space program have acted as a catalyst for new industries and generated millions of new jobs for Americans. Space exploration has become embedded in the culture and imaginations of Americans everywhere and it is our responsibility to ensure that it continues to inspire future generations.
