More Huffing and Puffing BS. Cruz is a huge supporter of NASA and their mission. He will support cleaning house.

Harry Reid and Obama shut down the government, NOT Ted Cruz.

The Republicans were burning the midnight oil trying to avert the shutdown; Reid, Obama, and the rest of the dems were a no show.

As it was, only 17% of the government was actually “shut down.”

Setting aside the biased THINKING, the WRITING is appalling here.

For example:

“actions during his time in office have painted him to be a far cry”

Actions painted someone? As a cry? Whaaat?

But the Republican senator's words and actions during his time in office have painted him to be a far cry from an advocate for the sciences, leaving many concerned about the future of space and science funding.

This ought to be good. I haven't read the rest yet. But my prediction? This article misses premise and changes all context with regards to Cruz statements.

I suggest as Ashley’s next assignment, she write an exposé on Yellow Journalism.

Ted Cruz will be seen as a great success by the space flight community if he can help get NASA back on the pathfinding and prospecting mission.

The liberals and climate alarmists aren’t going to be happy anyway. Screw em.

So Ted Cruz, one of the smartest people in the Senate, someone who Alan Dershowitz called his most brilliant student, is a “foe of science.” I think the Huff Post and other liberal hack rags have fantasies of Cruz and the other conservative Senators in Inquisitor’s garb threatening to torture Galileo for saying the Earth is round.

“Science” to liberals means the state sanctioned, funded, and perverted policies that are loosely referred to as “science”. As such, it should always be accompanied with quotes or some other indicator to differentiate it from what Galileo did.

barring 97 percent of NASA employees from appearing for work.

A friend who works at NASA told me that:

1) They eventually got paid for that time.

2) While they did no work whatsoever during the "shut-down" time (wink wink), they were "extraordinarily productive" on their first day back in the office (wink wink).

Hey Huffpo journalists, let’s debate some science.

I’m ready anytime, along with thousands more of us who actually have physics/math/engineering degrees and who have actually produced things that WORK.

Be prepared to have your Obamaholes crammed up your Obamaholes, idiots.

Cruz is an opponent of the bastardization of “science” which has held NASA hostage to political correctness.

NASA, DOD, and their contractors are not free to express their fact based opinions of Congressional and White House policy.

They will not bite the hand that feeds them.

If somebody wants them to build a satellite to measure something, they will build it.

The fact that somebody lies about the meaning of the data is a different story.

The current support from the Left for NASA, which has not always been a hallmark of the Left, has two main sources - a knee jerk support BECAUSE it’s Obama’s NASA, and a knee jerk support for NASA as part of a knee jerk support for “science” that amounts to a form of support regardless of a dysfunctional program (just like it does for “education”).

The controlling issue is that many “scientists” are on the Left and their lobbying among their co-political-faithful amounts to nothing other than lobbying for support for themselves, personally as support that does not question what they are doing. Which is typical of the Left where all answers are already known and you are not supposed to think independently.

The comments at the article show how screwed we are as a country. I don’t think these people even realize what Obama has done to NASA, including the number one priority for NASA to do Muslim outreach. These people are the very definition of low information voters. I don’t do Facebook, but could someone that does go over there and post something sensible?

I didn’t realize NASA still had a space program. I thought the Obama regime had changed their mission to one of Muslim outreach.
