That’s really not ‘space travel’ per se. It’s overpriced bus service. NASA is a collection of abject fools with PhDs.
” - - - Obama will make a statement on Ukraine before he departs Thursday for a day of events in Florida. - - - “
Predicted Obama statement summary: “There is no need for MY War with Russia to interfere with MY political fund-raising in Florida. Money trumps War, every time. FORWARD!”
Observation: The Democrat’s Empty Chair Party Animal sets out for another carefree day of skimming dollars from Obamanation Loyalists. Their loss is his gain.
Would be funny if Russia stops the bus service to the space station. Then what do we do to get them out of there?
Regardless of whose administration ended the shuttle program, the political and economic fallout from this decision should have been anticipated.
The current administration is like trying to run a business (government) on good looks alone. There is really no one of substance among Obama’s people that knows what they are doing. Just too many ex-lobbists, party bureaucrats, and red tape. Whatever this government touches, turns brown and reeks.
NASA devolved into the mess we still call a space agency. The smartest scientists, daring astronauts, and other can-do people who built a great organization are long gone. Not to mention the money. NASA is rudderless. It should be put out of its misery.
Let the next Howard Hughes and his investors in free-enterprise lead us back to the moon or wherever. NASA never will.
