Obama is monumentally stupid.
How is that going to affect employment in the Houston area?
I guess Obama’s the anti-JFK.
I think his Jobs Program really sucks.
He's trying to get it as low as possible.
Nothing like handing the high ground to China.
We really are a nation in decline.
Perhaps he’ll use the money saved on some jobs program.
Did PBS get the ax too?
I guess he wants to kill the space program and take that money to pay for his new high-speed trains. Go figure.
Where does he get the authority to do this?
Typical Marxist/Populist solution; Rob from Peter to pay Paul.
I’ll bet those Liberal weenies at NASA who voted for him are sure sorry now.
It’s for the children and a sacrifice. High speed trains that no one will ride are much more important and besides it makes us look just like European nations.
He’s not killing NASA’s sattelitte program so they can keep the global warming fraud going tho.
And that's not even counting other NASA locations around the country and at contractors. We're turning our backs on territory we've explored and staked out. Kind of like Lewis and Clark coming back and finding out that gee, the country decided, we don't need to explore the West. Nothing there but mountains and trees and beavers and Indians. Much better to spend our money "here at home" on the East Coast.
What a bunch of stupid chumps.
He cannot do this unilaterally. Congress has to agree.
Just emailed my friend who is working on this project in Huntsville... I hope this isn’t true.
NO MANNED SPACE TRAVEL MEANS WE WILL HAVE TO RELY ON OTHER COUNTRIES FOR SATELLITE REPAIR???
I wonder how Crist is going to reply ... Shutdown of Cape Canaveral is going to be bad for Florida employment.
I doubt the NASA manned space program is dead. If it is, we can always hitch a ride on the Russian, Chinese, Japanese or Indian manned rockets.
Carter cut the B-1, Reagan built the new and improved B-1b.
Its far more important we transfer wealth to morons and ignorant uneducated immigrants, than it is to continue our technology excellence in space. Besides the manned space program employs mostly those evil white people.
I thought he was ‘fighting’ to create jobs? More like he’s destroying them.
Obama doesn’t write the budget.
Lets remember that.
As far as I’m concerned, Obama can take an untethered spacewalk...where he can then try to thumb a ride home.
Every president since LBJ has been anemic at best on manned space exploration. I certainly don't think McCain would have been any different.
Combine that with NASA, that has wandered around in a daze since the late eighties, spending billions on canceled project after canceled project, and you get basically no hope for a return to space exploration in our lifetimes.
Unless it's done commercially.
