"From the darkness, sleeping light." Formerly luminus dormiens. Lux pacis, light of peace.

It's easy: Just stop spending
The nation as a whole is pretty tired of outer space. Sure, the Mars Rover might have instilled some inspiration in some individuals, but it cannot erase the fact that outer space is too dangerous to send people in. Any mission to the moon or Mars must wait until at the very least you have cut down all the deficits that you are raising for the sake of tax cuts. Just stop spending.
I speak from someone who loved Star Trek (during the The Next Generation era, I haven't watched the original series because I don't have (!) cable). I would love to see outer space, but not at the expense of our nation as a whole. What you are attempting to do is something that will not resonate with the majority of American voters at all! At the very least it does not resonate with me!
Naturally, I should not forget that you have the capability of confounding the expecations of the American populace, including the Democrats by being successful in the political game. So I know your speech, which I haven't even heard yet, would probably contain very inspiring words about outer space ever written by your speechwriter or by you.
So I'll see how it goes. Who knows, I may like it. It's just that, I thought government should be made smaller, not larger; more efficient, not clumsy with bureaucrats.
