Good morning! Toby, I hope you're getting some of this wonderful rain. When does Allie get back from camp?

Thanks, 2/3rds. I appreciate you giving us this history. We have known that the shuttle program was a limited program, as are all things. But Caligula has shut it down with no concrete plans for future space exploration in the works. Orion has been cut back, as you note (did I understand that correctly?), so much that it isn't on the cutting edge of exploration. There is no good reason for this at all. And to deliberately cut off a great government program, one of the few that are great, is beyond the pale. This debacle is hung around Caligula's neck and will remain there until the end of time.

Yes, you understand that correctly. Orion has been cut back, but fortunately, it lives on despite Caligula's efforts to destroy the greatest and most magnificent human space exploration program in history. Since he tried to destroy the human space exploration program, he does deserve the blame for ending the shuttle program as well as being dependent on the Russians for our manned access to space for an extended period of time, instead of the short time it would have been had Caligula not thrown a monkey wrench into it and delayed it much further. If I recall, we were going to have access to the space station via Orion as early as 2013, but now it is 2016 or later.

There are going to be a number of debacles and transgressions that will be hung on the illegal alien who infests the White House until the end of time. Besides this one, another one I very clearly recall is his commission of infanticide of natural born American citizens during his stay in the Illinois state senate as attested to by nurse Jill Stanek.

I'm trying to think....has America, as a country, ever made a greater mistake in history than the result of the election of November 4, 2008? I can think of no greater mistake our country has ever made. Can you?
