The last I heard, he was pretty much down on space as a waste of money (yes, I know NASA's annula budget would run the Federal welfare system for almost one week, but I'm not running for prez so I can say that). Then I heard someone accusing Mondale of switching his position on the Shuttle, meaning, I presume, that he decided to go along with our rip:roaring success in the one area where the Japanese aren't feeding us dust. Well, good for you, Fritz. But how about the Station, missile defenses, etc.? I missed the debate tonite and wonder if any panelist brought up space issues. No way can I support a candidate who refuses to "go for it" in spadce. Better to vote for Reagan if need be. so what is the "need" appearing to be these days? Thanks, mike k
