Before Obama was elected President we were the leader in space exploration and heading back to the moon and then on to Mars. Now with the last Shuttle flight soon to come the Shuttle fleet will be retired and we then won't even have a craft available to get us into low earth orbit Let alone travel back to the Space Station that billions of dollars of tax payer money went into building.
Someone cue the Guinness Beer Commercial Guys:
How's that Hope-N-Change® working out for everybody?
“Nasa ends plan to put man back on Moon.”

The dismantling of the US Space Program, (with its accompanying de-emphasis on American ingenuity and technology), in favor of Communist redistribution schemes such as the openly racist “War on Poverty”, began not after Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface.
Actually, the destructive, anti-American Leftists BEGAN the propaganda long before even that historic triumph.
Only the Post Office can deliver packages, eh?
The federal government has no more business running a space program than it does running a railroad. NASA should go back to its original mission of R&D and leave manned spaceflight to private industry.
This bastard is killing NASA because it is running 3 billion over budget, when he pisses away a trillion like water.....this guy must go....before he destroys the country
There is not one cent left for the children of the American people.
Obama aside, is there any who really believes we would have been back on the moon by 2020 for anywhere near the costs they were talking about?
We don't have the money for luxuries anymore. Heck, in reality we don't have the money for necessities.
Yesterday I saw a car with an "Obama '08" sticker and a "NASA: I Need My Space sticker."
“Failure Is Our Only Option”
The Planetary Society has been supporting Obama.
What’s wrong with these people?
Next year we’ll be paying $55 million a head just to visit our space station (I say our because we ended up paying for almost all of it).
