I’m compelled to believe that the first thing that this president would do is ask, “Why do they want to eat our brains?” and apologize to all of zombiedom for our previous imperialistic aggression against the undead.
Would a new version be a good idea? In my opinion, it would be a terrible idea, but compared to Ares it would be brilliant, and a very thrifty and cost-effective concept. Unfortunately, we’re unlikely to get any actual good ideas, given the politics.
…conservative? A lot of “liberals” seem to think so. I’m not a big fan of the genre myself.
But is it America’s choice? It sort of was last November (no matter which major candidate won), but it’s not too late to change our minds.
Clark Lindsey makes a failed attempt to suppress snark about Ares 1-X.
…but always complain. Why Barack Obama is no Benjamin Disraeli.
Some thoughts from Popular Mechanics, and from Alan Boyle. Also, Clark has some more.

One of Clark’s links is particularly interesting. Now that the report is out, Jeff Greason is unleashed: “It’s time to base US space policy on the truth.”

I have some thoughts on cleaning techniques over at Pajamas Media.
