    That's why I suggested earlier that the country needed a long range goal and
    that the goal needed to be managed by the National Academy of Sciences and
    periodically reviewed for progress.  Programs like the Pluto mission
    probably don't look like part of any coherent plan to many people and
    therefore are too easy to get picked off in funding.  All these programs
    need to be part of a stated big picture so it can be seen that gutting one
    would weaken the goal and how.

    Subject, of course, to the fickle whims of congress...
