A Republican candidate for an Alabama congressional seat has proposed a plan to tax science fiction to fund NASA, The Huntsville (Ala.) Times reported. Michael Williams, who is running for the 5th Congressional District seat, proposes a 1 percent "NASA tax" on SF books, comics and any other space-related literature to finance the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the newspaper reported.
