Presidential candidates rarely discuss space policy, but Rudolph Giuliani did recently. More, he supported an aggressive space effort, saying specifically that the current five year gap between the retirement of the shuttle and the first flight of the new Orion craft was "not acceptable."
Giuliani made the remarks not simply in Florida, where he is campaigning before the next GOP primary, but on the Space Coast, in Port Canaveral and Titusville, after touring the Kennedy Space Center, and while meeting with aerospace industry executives. So, he was unlikely to argue the Earth is flat. Still, he is now on record making positive remarks about the space program.
The Florida Primary is a week from tomorrow. If space policy is going to be discussed in the presidential campaign at all, this might be the logical time.
