The Space Shuttle was a bad idea from day one

Actually, it was a good idea, but so badly executed that it never should have been allowed to fly.

Another gift from the Nixon Administration.

Besides, Obama can use the money from the space program to fund social welfare programs, low interst government loans and any other entitlement he can think of. He can get alot more votes from the societal knuckledraggers for that spending than from a space program.

The Air Force design was the good idea, the actual design was the poor execution. Both decisions done for political reasons.
