In a speech on the anniversary of the Sputnik launch, Hillary Clinton said today:
Fifty years ago, Sputnik marked the dawn of the Space Age and the
beginning of a new era filled with new challenges. Fifty years later,
there is no single, galvanizing event to steel our resolve and to lift
our eyes to the heavens. The challenges we face are more complex and
interconnected. From the rise of globalization to the threat of global
warming. These challenges require big ideas and bold thinking.
But instead of fostering a climate of discovery and
innovation, the Bush administration has declared war on science. The
record is breathtaking:
