I cried today thinking the very same think.

Barack Obama is the biggest mistake ever voted into any office in this country. If there was a poster boy for abortion, it should be Barack Hussein Obama.

You should have been crying back in 2004. In January of 2004, George W. Bush issued a directive to end Shuttle flights in I think 2010. This was around the time he started talking up Orion/Constellation. Congress squeaked in one or two more Shuttle flights through appropriations.

Back in 2004, a lot of FReepers were questioning the wisdom of assigning an end date to the Shuttle program when we didn't even have a replacement truly in the works.

I WAS upset back in 2004. However, there were plans for a new category of launch and exploration vehicles. Money should’ve been appropriated to NASA for future shuttles, rovers, space exploration in general.

I’m not upset directly at Obama for the close of our manned exploration of space, I’m directly upset at Congress for scuttling appropriations. However, it is directly Obama’s fault for all of the BS he’s brought about with social this and welfare that, and Congress was left with little choice but to scuttle the shuttle in order to make ends meet.

If our tax dollars were plentiful and social programs nil, space exploration would be a natural and necessary fit for us considering our defense and communication needs. Considering, however, that Obama is drastically destroying our military and attempting to reign in and control major media, it’s really not necessary to guess as to fault for the destruction of America’s space program: it’s Obama’s fault.
