Barack Obama has been sworn in a second time since, as he slipped up and said his vows in the wrong order. I saw a bit of the parade on TV, and saw NASA's new LER performing in front of Obama (apparently not to appeal for funding)! I don't mind watching parades on TV, but I hate actually being there also, having too many people there spoil them for me.<BR/><BR/>I hope President Obama can act quickly & effectively and "nip the recession in the bud", so to speak. Action needs to be taken now, before the economic situation spins so far out of control that measures to control it become infective.<BR/>Over here in England, although the recession is constantly in the media, nobody I know actually seems to be affected too much. People are of course, reigning in their spending, but I wouldn't say that anyone I have seen is necessarily "struggling".<BR/><BR/>And as for the food shortage during Ex.10, I thought expedition crews typically leave food behind for other crews, not eat into their supplies!<BR/><BR/><BR/>-PeteSpace Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211787239794732090noreply@blogger.com
