Does anyone know of a link that has video of the President's speech? I've read the text but would like to see it. When he made he speech, I was somewhere over the Pacific between Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Sydney. I did not hear about it until I got home and looked on the internet.Robert...what a story to share! To be picked out of a crowd and saluted by a moonwalker..WOW! And then be able to see the President make such a historic speech. I read the reactions by former astronauts of the President's plan. I was a bit dissapointed to see John Glenn's response. Sounded too much like a politician and not an astronaut.Fingers crossed that Congress will approve the requested funding, and then some!------------------Brian Peterastronautbrian@hotmail.com[This message has been edited by collshubby (edited January 15, 2004).]DavidHVideo is available at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/01/20040114-3.html ------------------"America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow." - Commander Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17 Mission, 11 December 1972
