Space-free State of the Union
In his State of the Union address last night the President did not mention space.
(Even Rex was not surprised.)

UPDATE: Of course, science and math education, which the speech did showcase, lead to great things like space. Over at the Space Foundation this morning, Elliot Pulham commended the President "for highlighting the need to foster innovation and improve math and science education to keep the United States competitive globally. Through the introduction of the American Competitiveness Initiative, the President has focused attention on those things that laid the groundwork for the United States' economic and technology leadership - strong skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and a commitment to research and innovation." I agree, and it sounds like a promising initiative. (Now it's up to Congress to do some math.)
