The Space Frontier Foundation today praised the White House’s decision to cancel NASA’s failed Ares rocket programs and instead invest in private enterprise systems “inspirational” and “a giant leap in the right direction.”

“The reforms announced yesterday fix some of the worst errors of the Bush Vision of Space Exploration,” said Foundation chairman Bob Werb.

I’m all for private space but when you get on board with this government all bets are off. Chances are they won’t be private for long.

Nor will it matter that it doesn't work. The money will be channelled to Obama's supporters. It will soon be time for NASA aerospace engineers and scientists to dust off the resumes.

The Space Frontier Foundation which hates the very idea that the US is in anyway connected to manned space flight today cheered the Great Hussein and his fellow Democrates for their farsighted vision, saying the money could be better used to feed the homeless in Haiti.

The Space Frontier Foundation which prefers it’s dream of centralized control over anything connected with space ventures - as long as the Space Frontier Foundation is the “Voice of the People” in space matters - congratualed Hussein for beginning the realization the Democrate vision of returning the US to Pre-Columbian times.

The Space Frontier Foundation pledged to continue to be a large donor to Husseins re-election campain - now in full swing. The Space Frontier Foundation promised to keep its ties with mainland China on the backburner, and to keep the technical information flowing.

This is a case of crony capitalism..

instead invest in private enterprise systemsThey are not private systems insofar as the government "invests" in them.

While I support killing Ares and look forward to commercialization of astronaut transport, in this particular case, you’re right. The founder and owner of SpaceX is a huge Obama donor and supporter, was at several of his campaign rallies.
