Close Encounters of the Vitter Kind

I just took a much needed shower. I'd been in the same room as Senator David Vitter.

Vitter was talking at NASA Michoud. I had to leave my camera outside the auditorium. Security specified no cameras, no sketches (! I wonder if I could have been detained if I doodled a stick figure representation of the Senator?).

Vitter's main points:

1) He's a fiscal conservative.
2) He's in favor of adding a minimum of 3 billion dollars a year to NASA's manned space program budget.
