Resident Bush has finally voiced his administration's plans for future space exploration. As disappointingly remote as they may seem on first take (and there's every possibility that they will be shot down entirely), it's the first proactive space initiative in memory. It's not "We choose to go to Mars," but it leaves the door open. And it recognizes the dire need for a vehicle to replace the Space Shuttle fleet (or what's left of it) with something that doesn't belong in the Air and Space Museum. Of course, we should have had a functioning alternative to the Shuttle a long time ago, but better late than never.
