Absurd Singularity

While I'm all for more space exploration, I can't help but feel that this is pretty contrived for political purposes only. But what else is new eh? Not sure if he's trying to deflect everyone's attention away from the persisting economic/job market problems or if he actually believes the party line that the economy is SOOOO so getting better and that they can actually afford this. For the government idiots with apparently short-term memory loss, we do have a projected $500 BILLION deficit to deal with here.
