Oh space is not ny only issue but I do think it is an important one. Just
looking at the differences in their space policies IMHO tells a lot about
the canidates and their stands.
Clinton's space people oppose efforts to reduce costs. They prefer to
stick with older and more expensive systems. They also want to keep the
government in firm control of the entire program.
This unimaginative attitude seems to go hand in hand with Clinton's other
programs and positions.

Me too. I have absolutely no personal interest in space. I am not employed
by NASA or any space related effort. I will not profit by any particular
space policy.
