NASA did something cool back in 1969. Since then it’s been fairly meh.

NASA can’t seem to do anything on schedule anymore anyway.

Musk will find that AI can replace the Hubble at a fraction of the cost…

NASA isn’t supposed to work like Space X. NASAs slow, methodical approach to space travel and rocket development was supposed to be a safer and more economical way to space.

NASA lost their was after the Space Shuttle program ended, there was no clear mission just a maybe, perhaps we could go back to the moon one day. Not a solid call to action.

Advances in robotics left manned space flight further in a lurch as small robot rover tech made the need for a manned mission to Mars unnecessary.

Give NASA a clear goal, guarantee proper funding for that mission and give them a director who has the leadership skills to keep it all on track, or dump the whole thing, retire the logo and lease the facilities to commercial space companies who have a reason and see a need for manned and larger, more ambitious robotic space flight. IMHO

Didn’t Obozo encourage Muslim countries to get involved in our space program? Wonder if any are imbedded in NASA now.

When I was at the Cape in 2000, I saw a bunch of old men giving tours and dreaming of the 60’s.
I saw that launch tower and Orion capsule and were promised this was man’s return to the moon.
LOTS of BS.

WAY past time to close NASA Ames in Mountain View.

I wonder where we can possibly cut in NASA:

Obama cut back on NASA in Houston. I bet the media did not complain then.
