Quoting Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com>:

Too bad Bush cancelled the X-33 in 2001. I really had high-hopes for watching it land at Dugway. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/news/releases/1999/Feb99/99-008.html http://www.aerospaceguide.net/space_planes/x-33.html http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/x33_x34end.htm

You know Kurt, I looked, but didn't see anythings crediting President Bush with cancelling the X-33 program. If you'll refer back to the 3rd link you provided, <http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/x33_x34end.htm>, you'll find a little one line statement that say's, Quote: "The decision to terminate both X-33 and X-34 were made internally by NASA and were not a White House decision, Stephenson said."
