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.
Well, from what I've seen from those FReeprs who are against NASA and the manned space program -- they will be cheering on the chopping up of NASA and it's manned space program. I haven't seen that they care what is done with the money, as long as NASA gets chopped up. Some of those FReepers "really" don't like NASA for some reason. Maybe they want to turn the USA into the usa, too... for all I know.
As long as it's their version of 'usa'.
The Freepers against NASA are a small vocal minority.
Most seem to have an extreme libertarian view of things I have noticed.
NASA is nation defining agency, it is a manifestation of our pioneer spirit, of our nation born of the frontiers.
It is the R&D of the nation. It is our future.
The nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history.
Naturally Obama wants to screw it up.
I truly despise that man to the core.
I am living in a national nightmare.
I think that in part it can be attributed to the fact that the moon landing was a Democratic program. Nixon killed it as soon as he could. Asa long time space fan, it amazes me that an endeavor that has resulted in so many real scientific achievements, and of course which has contributed to a strong military posture,
can be dismissed by so-called conservatives as a boon-doggle. I call them the ultimate isolationists.
