Bolden: We weren’t headed to the moon until late next decade, if then
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 02/01/10

Obummer tends to pick shills, not free thinkers.

I’m all for seeing research into faster propulsion systems but that sounds like a wonderful job for guys like Richard Branson.

They are still saying 7,000 layoffs and no human space flight for the next 5 years regardless the color lipstick this autocrat paints on the pig.

Its really up to Congress. If they follow the President, Bolden needs to resign in protest if he has an ounce of honor or dignity.

I want the next trip to the moon to be a private venture.

We already proved we could spend our tax dollars to go to the moon. What kind of goal is “go back to the moon?”

Well I wasn’t aware of the racial connection. Bringing race into this blatantly stupid statement detracts from the more central issues, I think.

You’d think an astronaut’s boss wouldn’t be pussywhipped by a commie.

But I guess that isn’t the case.

And how many billions are now allocated to “Global Warming” in the Space Exploration fund that used to be NASA.

[Salvage-1]

I have been looking EVERYWHERE on the internet for those episodes. Loved that show as a kid. It was very influential to a future engineer and rocket scientist. But alas, Salvage-1 is nowhere to be found.
