    I'm not going the alien route if that's what your asking, although he did mention something regarding aliens threats in one of the UN meetings. In the Star Wars speech he talked about the need to expand on military spending for our national security. That has not changed very much over the years regardless of who is in office. I don't want to speculate any further than that.

    I do remember reading about the alien overtones...that he talked repeatedly about how the world would be united if we were all suddenly threatened by an alien life form.

    I've read the same thing, I don't know if they are out there, but if they are I hope they are peaceful, if not things will get very ugly I presume.

    2 related reasons:

    1. We don't need the space program as a cover for developing ICBM technology.

    2. Nobody wants to pay for it.
