Well, actually GW shut down the shuttle program. But the lyin’ king sure didn’t help with a follow on. Except of course for telling chaz bolden to crank up the muzzie outreach for all the contributions that i-slam made to our tech advances. Lucky the russkies are “letting” us buy engines from them huh?

rktman -True statement about GW terminating the shuttle program. However, the statement sheds a false light on the facts. Just as Kennedy canceled the Mercury and Gemini programs Apollo was almost ready to go. When GW canceled the
Shuttle the belief was that there would be less than a year gap in our ability to launch humans into low earth orbit.
Obama has slow rolled the next launch vehicle. Making Muslims feel better about their accomplishments is more important.
