\"Q. Is Obama going to offer any sweeteners when he goes to central Florida [for April 15 space conference]? The fact that the President is taking time to visit Florida to discuss the future of America's space program demonstrates his commitment to NASA, and our robust exploration vision. I think people will see firsthand what I see - his passionate commitment to a bold future in space which is at the heart of the decision to add an additional $6 billion to NASA's budget.\"<\/i><\/p>

\"Our greatest accomplishment in human space flight were gained because President Kennedy said we will land a man on the moon and return him safely to earth by the end of this decade,\" Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) said in February. \"President Kennedy didn't say, 'We're going to spend a few billion dollars on some really unique research and development.'\"<\/i><\/p>

\"Five years ago, I wrote in favor of privatizing the space program, mainly because of costs. I was wrong.

It was, rather, a matter of pride and national security. Maybe we've lost that vision because our chief enemies these days, fanatical Middle Eastern terrorists, don't have a space program. But the price of becoming \"a second-rate space country\" is just as unthinkable as it was 40 years ago.\"<\/i><\/p>
