So, it’s over. I think we can just mark it down in Obamajaad’s legacy that he was the man who destroyed our exceptional space flight program. The cost of which from 1972 to 2010 was $209 bi...llion.

Compared to the $4.6 TRILLION Obamajad has pissed off in less than 24+ months, it is chump change! The benefits we’ve received from medical techology and equipment, laser scans and prosethic appliances was worth that. Not to mention the microwave, cell phone and satelite technology, and earth studies and mechanical engineering and more.

Let’s just mark this down with the destruction of our economy, job market and our private health care system; giving Hitler down in hell pure bliss as he wrings his hands in gleeful anticipation over each death for lack of health care treatment. Along with a line noting that he was successful in making ALL Americans have equal opportunity at the poorhouse and soup kitchens called food stamps.

Let’s put it on a gold plated plaque Entitled Dumbarsed Community Agitator of Communism and retire him to hang it in his house made out of cow dung in Kenya in 2012!

Then let’s pick up the pieces of our country and put it back to work, INCLUDING a private NASA Space Program and prove that we can do it better anyway!

God bless our Astronauts all brave men and women serving our country, and let us remember with honor those brave space pioneers who who gave it ALL !

Since SpaceX has launched and recovered a capsule that I would have taken a ride in (regardless of NASA 'man-rating') I would say that SpaceX has the stuff.

Question is "How long, and how many hoops until NASA 'man-rates' something that obviously works"?
