*Waits for inevitable comments about how Evil Bush will ruin the planet and he is not commited to space travel and rants about Iraq*

Actually, Bush is pushing for space travel, mainly because at the time (erm... a couple of years ago) he wanted to distract people from Iraq in an election year and because JFK is remembered so fondly for kicking off the moon-landing-program.
If my memory serves me correctly, he pushed for another moon landing followed by a moon base and mars landing. Only he didn't increase NASA's funding enough so they've had to kill off the Hubble Telescope. Boo.
