Probably won't come as a shock to anyone here, but I suppose this makes it "official";
Buzz is backing Bush.

Actually it did surprise me. But I don't pay much attention to celebrity endorsements, only the issues I find most important to me in the world today.

I wonder if Buzz had to sign a loyalty oath before they let him in? |

Good one. LOL. I'll bet they had him sign one just to get his autograph.

A free autograph? Well, never too late for fiscal responsibility... Rover

From links in first two posts:Aldrin praised the president's plan to return to the moon and eventually send men to Mars. "There is so much more to explore. We need a vision for the future." Russell Schweickart, former Apollo 9 astronaut, will speak on possibilities for renewable energy, highlighting the current administration's lack of support for such development. He will also address the importance of energy independence in the global context. Schweickart is also a former research scientist at he[sic] Experimental Astrnonomy[sic] Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Seems that Buzz's message is more on topic - supporting manned space exploration. Rusty's seems negative -- more against something than for something. Maybe Rusty will come forward in support of exploration in ANWR if he's really all that concerned over the "importance of energy independence."
