It's a shame that the X-43A's budget has been cutback. Somehow,
someway Congress needs to find funds to help NASA push its scramjet
project forward. From a public benefits standpoint, it seem to me
that we'll reap faster returns from NASA's scramjet program than we
will from its manned Mars program. Jim Pflaum - Raleigh, NC
