It's not as exhuberently expensive as it sounds. Since they'll be phasing out aging programs like the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, there will be a lot more money for new projects. (The shuttle now costs NASA about $4 billion a year and the station about $1 billion.) It'll also help build up the spirit of the American people. Think of how excitedly older people speak about landing on the moon back in the day. I think this is a great idea which will help provide direction for NASA and lead to more advancements in the final frontier of space.
Rock on Dubya, rock on.
