As for Lunar Consulate, I could add that all indications are that former Gov Moonbeam will be running again for Gov in 2010 to replace the termed out Arnold.

I remember the good old days as a child when they built real rocket ships and real rocket planes in California. All we got left now are space cadets! Beam me up Scotty.
