I was kinda waiting for him to say that they would not have accomplished it without the government. “They didn’t build that”.

Obama couldn’t care less... He’s mad that the money we spent should have been spent on the Muslim brotherhood.

NASA just released its presidential budget request for 2013 and, as expected, the space agency’s planetary science program takes a big hit. The budget document (summary pdf) is merely the first volley in an often drawn-out exchange between the White House and Congress, but still sets the general direction for the space program.

I guess since NASA is working to build better relationships with Moslems - is he’s going to send all the Muzzies there now?

NASA didn’t do that! All of NASA’s space stuff is designed and built by private contractors.

Thank President Bush for authorizing this mission.

If only we had a forward thinking president like you again.
