The decline of America continues. This is so sad. Maybe we can give back our “stimulus” checks!? Huh? Huh? Sorry ... silly idea.

This is pathetic. We have seemingly unlimited funds to spend on every nitwit socialist idiocy that can be imagined under Heaven or Earth, but when it comes to something that might actually help to advance the human condition by leaps and bounds the mini-minds in government can't seem to come up with the minimal amount of money it would take. Sickening.

It intends to rely on Russia to ferry crews to the space station and on private companies to deliver cargo during the gap. Stupid, stupid, stupid...

They waste so much money trying to figure out ways to save money.
I was getting whiplash reading about the choice of engines for the new booster on wikipedia the other week. 2 days later I heard they decided they should have stuck with the modified Shuttle engines.

NASA had hoped to minimize the gap, but additional funding to do so has not been approved by the U.S. Congress. W has no clout to push through his vision for NASA. Now the Russians can launch us into space from a spaceport in their new state of Georgia.

IMO, the primary focus right now should be the weaponization of space, and maybe it is.

Pathetic! NASA is talking of landing men on the moon twelve years from now and yet they did it in less than ten years back in the 60's. Somehow, I think Virgin Galactic will get to the moon first; and maybe that's actually a good thing!
