I know a bunch of people who should be left on the moon.
That whole space program-thing made Americans think they were superior and stuff. We cant 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.
