Cuts 75,000 jobs. Creates 25,000 jobs. Won't go to the moon. Says he'll go to Mars. No more space shuttle- but maybe a few more flights. Tells NASA to devote resources to "green" projects.

NASA may be the most broken agency in the Federal government. They are in need of a cntl+alt+del.

However, 0 is not the right guy to fix it.

Tells NASA to devote resources to "green" projects.

Would that "green" be the 335 Million dollar contract extension with the Russians?

Our Idiot-in-Chief belatedly found out that by canceling Orion he was canceling a few thousand jobs in Colorado, which his people have been claiming is a new blue, or at least purple state.

Too late, the damaging headlines are already out there.

He’s totally incomprehensible.

He says one thing one day and then changes it over the next week or so.

zero can be rolled is the conclusion.
He is an empty suit, that has NO core.

Now I know what Sakozy meant when he said that Eu types thought Zero was a liar.

"The initial spurt of new funding will be used to begin work on what a "crew exploration vehicle," which O'Keefe said will "look totally different" from the space shuttle. It will be developed and tested by 2008 and will conduct its first manned mission no later than 2014. Lunar missions will begin between 2015 and 2020."

The above comment appeared in a report dated January 15th, 2004.  http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/01/14/bush.space/

Then, from the article from the top of this thread.  "The Constellation program, developed under the Bush administration, was aimed at returning astronauts to the moon in the 2020s to clear the way for a Mars mission."

Lying to us has become a full time project at the media and government outlets.

There is talk of...  This seems to be the main goal for NASA these days.

BHO must be desperate, trying to buy the geek vote.

This will be more funding for James Hansen and his scammer friends, to find a way to make up “satellite” evidence for AGW nka “Anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change” (fka “global warming”, fka “global cooling”).

B.O. fools no informed person.

So does this mean they will still layoff 8,000 but then hire 2,500 more in their place?

[freespirited]

Trying to save a RAT seat in Congress perhaps?

Shovel ready jobs - burying space workers’ jobs under a pile of “green” B.S. jobs.
