Obama trashed NASA beginning with killing any actual way for astronauts to get to orbit by shutting down the Space Shuttle and then trashing a replacement vehicle. This is kind of a problem because without a space vehicle, NASA is not a space agency. Its a bunch of rooms full of people with computers.
That left NASA astronauts in the unenviable position of hitching rides with the Russians, alongside millionaire space tourists.
But Obama gave Charles Bolden, his idiot appointee, a prime directive that NASA would now focus primarily on making Muslims feel good about themselves. That worked out about as well as you would expect.
Then Obama gave a speech declaring that the United States would land on an asteroid by 2025. Why an asteroid? No one at NASA seems to know.
Look, Obama axing NASA funds and realigning NASA to make muslims feel good about themselves has nothng to do with ISON, physics, and the fact that the comet will not kill us.
