Per a NASA spokesman, Obama has killed the country's manned space program by cutting all funding for it. The Constellation program was to be the next manned space program to send people back to the Moon and build a Moon base, then to send astronauts to Mars. Obama wants the money for increased spending on his constituants. Killing the Constellation Program means the $9B already spent is down the drain and an estimated 4,600 jobs will have been ended.

All...except for Firefly. Joss Whedan was a smart cookie to predict that.

“...Carter cut the B-1, Reagan built the new and improved B-1b....”
In 2010, Obama killed the Constellation program. After 2012, PRESIDENT Sarah Palin will restart the Constellation program.
“So any NASA employee who was dumb enough to vote for the guy deserves what they get. The ones who didn’t have my since sympathies.”
NASA Civil Servants are not going to be touched by layoffs. They work for the government. As for NASA contractors, most in the JSC area voted for McCain. Ironically, most of the ones that I know of that voted for Obama work in Space Station, and will likely survive because those jobs are going to stay for a while. Most of those that worked in Shuttle voted for McCain — or more accurately, against Obama.
