And now for something more serious.

"Thousands of federal and state jobs tied to the space industry are at stake. Local economies such as Florida’s Space Coast and aerospace communities in Alabama, California, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas await the sea change in the industry to become more defined. These changes must happen soon or our space industrial base will continue to be in crisis, threatening our national security."

So this article is written by the president of my company.  I'll be completely honest with you for a moment.  The atmosphere in the aerospace industry has been rough.  Our future is at the whim of Congress and NASA.  I think everyone is nervous.  My job could be in jeopardy.  And the worst part?  Most Americans have no clue that the Space Shuttle is retiring this summer and there is no planned replacement currently.  I urge you to contact your senators and representatives if you want to see the US have a continued presence in space and help save the jobs affected by this, possibly mine included.
