Obama doesn’t give a SHIT about this. He wanted to TEAR DOWN American Exceptionalism. He got it.
I have NEVER been sooooo pissed in my life. As a child, I wanted to be an astronaut. I went to Cape Canaveral before the ‘shoot to the moon’ took off to view the rocket on the landing pad. All the way back from trip.....”Man on the moon! Man on the moon!” It struck awe and wonder in me. Couple of weeks later.....watching the black and white images and hearing the “beeps” to “Houston”. We ran out in the front yard and took a Polaroid of the moon.
This area BOOMED after that. Filled with hope and promise. Now we have to ‘hitch a ride’, and NASA is used for ‘Muslim Outreach’.
Notice how fast the shuttles have been deconstructed? The parts and classified construction are probably already in China. Also, wasn’t the last leak out of the former Soviet Union were to shoot this bag of tin foil space junk down?
Won’t that be something. No shuttle. No Ares. No Soyuz. No ISS. It’ll be wide-open skies for China in the early 21st century.

Why?
I find this disturbing because we still have Americans up there. We have no more flights scheduled, and as has been mentioned, are quickly dismantling our space shuttles so we CAN’T make any more flights. Now the Russians are delaying their next flight. Will they delay again and again? And, if there are Soyuz available to bring the astronauts back, what happens if the Russians decide not to allow the Americans onboard? Dismantling our program and possibly leaving our people stranded is chilling.
