He is an idiot.
Nobel Prize endorsed, like Arafat and Obama.
Fat, dumb and happily remotely operating a probe from a dark walled in room is no substitute for the actual experience of a new frontier.

Exactly..
In my opinion, a great way for the feds to boost jobs would be to increase the NASA budget x10, and commit to a return to the moon in 5 years, with a permanent base in 8 years. Probably cheaper to build and more usefull that the ISS.
or America taking the lead..
Space exploration is a MILITARY application, science is just an afterthought. NASA was not fouinded to employ a bunch of snot nosed environmentalists. It was started so we could learnn to lob missiles at the USSR and to defend the country. These morons living in liberal caves think society is a suicide pact.
This guy has the vision of an ant. He and Obama want this country to be last in everything.
