Amazing how it always turns political in the General Forum, huh? :) Even though I agree with the President's decision cancelling Ares and embracing NewSpace that decision is hardly the heart of SpaceX's or VG's success.

The Enterprise Flies!

Electoral Map

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/senate/2010_elections_senate_map.html It's looking positive for Republicans so far but the next 8-9 months are an eternity in politics. It appears as though the R's will gain seats and maybe get the House but not the Senate. If you're a Democrat, that can...
