The rumors were true, Constellation is cancelled. No Ares 1 crew vehicle, no Ares V heavy lifter, no Altair lander. No bases on the Moon, and no human exploration of Mars. NASA is canceling the human return to the Moon.
Good.

But be consoled, the Obummer will be fixing the BCS playoff system, and we are saved.
Obama wants to slow down manned exploration just as he wants with defense acquisitions. I’m not surprised. It’s up to Congress to put manned space exploration back in the budget.
lol. They are blaming Bush for things that Democrats passed and Obama signed.
Its up to Congress of course, its not a done deal yet.
That is true..
If there is something of value under all that dust, let entrepreneurs from the private sector go find it, bring it back, and get rich on it. That's the American way.
Now what part of the Galaxy are the green Orion Slave Girls located? There is still hope for mankind.
Constellation is dead. Long live Constellation!
Weird article.
“Good.”
To paraphrase Stalin, “Socialism first, on one planet...”
Why, because Allah doesn’t agree?

Obama is not like that stupid George Bush, said Mr. Hoagland, perhaps said to impress Norry who absolutely hates the Bush family.
Mr. Hoagland should have remembered the 1960s. Since when did a street organizer want to spend a dime on space?
Dat be good. welfare famblys be neeedin dat mony fo foood and blutoof and other thangs. We be needin lots of stuff and bling and Obama mony. iz need to make my house paymnt tooo.
“It’s up to Congress to put manned space exploration back in the budget.”
And they will. In a bill worded such a way as to allow Husssein to veto it.
Hoagland was good in his early stuff, but hen he went so far off the deep end that only a pretzel could follow his ‘logic’.
He is enamored of any democrate president - he thought billy boy was the cat’s meaow. He will defend Hussein’s decision, saying something like the Bush conspiracy forced Hussein’s into that position due to the NeoCon’s control of weather machines which will hit New Orleans again unless Hussein does as he’s told. And then go on to graphicaly describe Hyperdimensional physics which the NeoCons control.
My Proposal,
Take half the budget for Social Program Spending and invest in in a crash program for lunar manufacturing via robotics and manned colonization. Take the other half of the social program spending and cut it entirely. We can actually SAVE money this way and have the High Frontier and employ smart people instead of paying navel gazing morons not to work.
I’d go for that, but, as I said somewhere else, it would clash with Hussein’s beloved vision of dusty villages.
Personally, I’d like the Republicans or whatever conservative group emerges to make something like that a national GOAL. Not a one-off sop to various constituent groups.
