so it really did all happen on a lot in Hollywood?

Gosh, was Art Bell right about Kennedy, too?

Propaganda cover-up for Obama.

"Case in point – NASA recently gave up trying to free the Mars rover Spirit from a sand pit it had been stuck in for nine months. But when the Apollo 15 crew's lunar rover got bogged down in loose soil, the astronauts got off, picked it up, moved it, got back on, and drove away "

Ya but, the Apollo 15 crew didn't keep working 7 years after their mission was over.

I just got an email from a friend who’s wife is deeply involved in the shuttle program.

He says people at NASA are pissed, and this is the first time in 30 years that she has not been able to tell school children that “If you work hard, one day YOU could go into space”

Obama is destroying inspiration for millions.

Yeah, there’s really no overriding need to do any of that stuff. Making a convincing economic argument for it would have helped, but no one was able to do it.

LEO and geosynchronous payloads are basically the bulk of the needs. The rest can be accomplished most effectively with robotic probes.

The ChiComs have aggressive plans for going to the Moon. They actually want to set up bases and colonize it.

So what does the Science Channel have on now? a show about how we are going to progress with the constellation program. I guess it is a few months old....

NASA’s plans were orders of magnitude more realistic than Obama’s vision of turning America into an affirmative action socialist paradise world power.

Well, I heard on Fox yesterday that Constellation might not be dead after all. It seems last fall, politicians from states with a lot of space related industry, slipped an amendment into the most recent NASA funding bill that prevented Obama or NASA from ending constellation unless congress votes to end it. So the only way to actually STOP constellation would be a vote in both houses of congress. So this might just end up being another loser for Obama.

One of the best things I think we could do is separate NASA into a Space Probe agency and leave the manned exploration to the US Air Force.

Indeed. I am sure that was 100% of 0's reason.
