In a speech to political allies gathered at Cape Canaveral last week, President Obama laid out his vision for America's space program. Under the Obama plan, NASA will spend $100 billion on human spaceflight over the next 10 years in order to accomplish nothing.
Of course, that's not how Mr. Obama phrased it. But beneath the President's flowery rhetoric, that's how things add up.
Here's the background. In 2004, the Bush administration launched a program called Constellation to develop a set of flight systems, including the Orion crew capsule and the Ares 1 and Ares 5 medium and heavy lift boosters, that together would allow astronauts to return to the Moon by 2020, and then fly to destinations beyond.

His motto appears to be: *Let the Russians do it*
More than half the yahoos at NASA voted for this idiot, they deserve what they get.
The least qualified guy in the room, a guy with no documented and verified academic credentials is now running the space program.
Wonder if they will get buyers remorse when standing in the street with a sign saying”Will work for food”?
There wasn't a single NASA employee invited to this event. Obama is an overweening pussy.
Isn't this reminiscent of his big splash that made everyone think he's for an oil drilling program, but actually reading his words we find he's referring vaguely to "exploration" only.....and his whole phony oil schtick has disappeared from the news because he got there but when he got there there was no there there.
......as usual.

When obozo campaigned in floriduh- he promised all
these nasa workers (and their support industries),
that he would be supporting the new spacecraft all ready
being developed- Lies! from now a known Liar! we will
see come november what Florida will do.
I know a lot of NASA people and virtually all were Obama supporters, with ex-military being the noteable exceptions.
I saw some Fri. and the shock on their faces was loud and clear. But because they are customers I just turned the other way and said nothing. But I sure wanted to ask “WTF were you thinking?”
PSALM 2010
Obama is the shepherd I did not want.
He leadeth me beside the still factories.
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party.
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line,
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me.
He has anointed my income with taxes,
My expenses runneth over.
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.
I am glad I am American,
I am glad that I am free.
But I wish I was a dog .....
And Obama was a tree.
