HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Anxiety about the future of manned space flight - and 2,200 local jobs - is building amid reports that President Obama will propose a 2011 NASA budget Monday that weakens or kills the Constellation program, which includes the Ares I and Ares V rockets.

This Obama youtube video explains it all. Obama places NASA as a representative of American power as the same as he sees the US military. Obama does not like it.

IN 52 SECS BARACK OBAMA SAID HE WOULD CUT AMERICA'S MILITARY DEFENSE SYSTEMS

The Lewis and Clark expedition was one of those government boondoggles that paid off in a big way.

I say put Zero in a rocket and send him into space with no destination in mind. Just like the Energizer bunny - let it go on and on and on into infinity.

SpaceX will get to the Moon way before the government employees do.

Then we will find out if the bases on the moon are myth or fact.

Hmmm.. the program goes from drawing board to a successful test launch in 9 months and it is a FAILURE???? Lying Farging scumbags.

It is a failure in the same sense that the F-22 Raptor was "obsolete".

Meanwhile, we gwt to spend a few billion on a train from Miami to Orlando.

You have all heard me say it before, they want us planet locked so they can control us.

Colonies become independent and with the resources off world, the power would be huge.

America took its natural resources and human capital,went on to lead the world......they damn sure do not want a off world America.

Where is D. D. Herriman? He could claim the moon for his corporation since the government has abandoned it.
