I hope Congress has some cajones.
Oh, that's right, they don't.
As a scientist, I find this more than a little disconcerting, as the moon is by far and away the best nearby source of He(III) which is one of the better feedstocks for a potential commercial fusion reactor. As a taxpayer, however, I understand the need to make hard budget decisions.
I hope that there are enough wild speculators out there to keep the research going (as in the case of stem cell research) so that even without federal funding the science still advances (and maybe even gets better).
Ah, I'm just rationalizing.
