As can the election of Pres Obama.

President Obama's decision, if it is indeed to be as is rumored today, leaves NASA and the nation with no program, no plan, and no commitment to any human spaceflight program beyond that of today - the last few flights of the Space Shuttle to complete the International Space Station.

And what's so unusual about that for a Demonrat?

The U.S. manned space program is as of the moment, dead. It’s true, there’s no point in debating the question, NASA’s only plan for humans in space is to buy some tickets from Russia to the ISS and back - and when the ISS is deorbited in a decade or less that will even come to an end.

Nevertheless, I don’t blame Obama for killing the program - he only read the last rites - but the real murderer is the ISS. Having sucked up $100 billion and squelched any competent space goals I’ll be celebrating the pyrrhic victory when the hunk of useless metal crashes into the ocean.

Nixon was a boon to the Chinese as was Clinton. Neither did this country any good. Now we have Hussein. and as many predicted back in the summer of 2008, he is cancelling NASA, except to study the man made global warming hoax using billions of tax dollars - just another way for Hussein to speed the country into bankrupcy with no gain to anyone but his ego.
