...couch someplace, that?s my attitude." Will he return to space yet again? Only if his wife, Annie, lets him, said the senator, and only if there were "some rising demand." Considering the trouble NASA is having getting the ISS off the ground, administrator Dan Goldin would no doubt love to stick Glenn in permanent orbit...
...that it was a perfect day for everyone. Annie Glenn and her two grown-up children -- now in their fifties -- have been less than lukewarm about their husband and father returning to space from the first day NASA administrator Dan Goldin agreed to it. It's wasn't a happy scene for all the Glenn watchers, either -- drivers faced bumper-to-bumper traffic on the way to the Cape this morning, closed highways later on(the fact that the President drove in didn't help the situation any).

For a mere $60 million, NASA chief Daniel Goldin told members of Congress in a letter printed in the New York Times Monday, America will get "up to 100 percent of the research time previously allocated to Russia" -- and Moscow's space program effectively becomes a subsidiary of Washington...

All of which hardly sits well with NASA administrator Daniel Goldin's vision for "faster, cheaper, better" space missions. And researchers who could have used the money to do something useful -- cure cancer, say, or map the human genes -- can only watch and weep...
