Keith's note:
According to multiple sources, the chief DIRECT fan boy Stephen Metschan, is still trying to whip up support for his rocket idea - as if it is the one and only solution to every single problem NASA has. It would seem that his big protest rally idea onsite at KSC has evaporated from lack of interest (and permission). Now he is sending proposed speeches around to Washington and his pals via messages that incorrectly spell the the first and last name of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Gee Stephen, it sure would help if you get the names of the main players straight before you try and influence White House policy.
