That whole space program-thing made Americans think they were superior and stuff. We can’t have that.
I've seen a good number of FReepers say that it's a waste of our taxpayer money to think about sending any manned missions to either the moon or to Mars. Those posters are adamantly against it as a waste of US Taxpayer money -- and especially so now.
So, in that light, they would be glad to hear that Obama was killing manned space flight to the moon and to Mars.
Not all FReepers are going to be on the same track as your thinking on the matter.
As for me, I always liked the manned space program, but it has definitely been deteriorating for quite a while, long before Obama got into office. And even with previous administrations many here on Free Republic who have long complained about the money spent at NASA, as a "boondoggle" and entirely wasteful.
Those same folks surely don’t think he is going to use it to build up the military.
This is yet another sign that he hopes to make the USA into the usa.
I've seen the debates here, back and forth, about manned space flight. And it's undeniable, NASA has wasted tons of money - name a gov't program that hasn't. Still, Obama wants to kill it because it's a symbol of American exceptionalism. Period.
And what would you like to see them do?
Most Freepers are very PRO-NASA. Your the only one I see saying something negative about it. I say attack obambi on this with 100 percent conviction. Hi Tech Jobs going to other countries.
If we can spend a trillion dollars helping ...BANKS! We can spend billions helping NASA.
