>>>Perry is absolutely correct! And that means people and machines beyond low Earth orbit -- on the moon -- using resources.
But then it is not Obama that is "forcing NATO away from its original purpose", since this appears to have been US policy for the past 40 years. We haven't put people beyond low Earth orbit since 1972.

We haven't put people beyond low Earth orbit since 1972. NASA could use some of your "rocket fuel" to launch from Earth's gravity well. Which by the way was the purpose of the Vision for Space Exploration -- learn to use off-Earth resources, as lifting mass from Earth COSTS -- including and especially all the fuel it takes.
