And yet one more month has passed us by.

Bush announced the space budget for NASA, and there's good news and bad news. Overall, it looks good, as it provides $14.5 billion dollars for NASA, a 2% improvement over this year. However much of that is because of unexpected Space Station costs. Bush also wants to spend more on exploring Mars, so perhaps we might make it out there before 2025. The bad news is that a mission to pluto has been axed, though there is a possibility that it could still fly.

We've had 5 bomb threats in the last 7 days, with no signs of stopping. The first time it's sorta fun and all, but now it's just old. I sorta always wondered why they didn't happen more often though, since it seems like a good way for some idiot to get out of a test or something.
