I would say America herself is “adrift”. And her president is more “adrift” than she is. And I would say America is fracked.

He’s looking for “shovel-ready” tasks that the space agency can handle.

He should have them look for his birth certificate. Apparently, finding it will take a "rocket scientist." The Intellectual Redneck

I feel the same way about Obambi. He is adrift on a very bad mission.

Send prominent Liberals on a peace mission to the Alpha Centauri system.

Problem solved!

Barney Frank doesn’t want to go so far as Alpha Centauri. Could he just stop off at Uranus?

We will need the space shuttle to escape Earth after Obama makes the world less tolerable than the vacuum of space.

On a serious note i wonder if this could indicate a shift from the Aries I and Aries V to the Direct 2.0. The Aries I is having greater than expected development problems and the Aries V is going to cost so much that it is unlikely to ever be built.

Either that or Obama is going to scrap NASA completely and just give the money to ACORN.
