Well, now that the administration announced the complete elimination of the space shuttle program, they will leave it up to private industry to get astronauts into space. How nice of him to think capitalists can still get something done! I plan on entering the 'race to space' as I still have a rather large stash of bottle rockets left over from last years July 4th celebration.
Apparently, Obama feels NASA scientists should now begin concentrating on real world issues, like global warming. Hey, I don't make this up, he made the decision!
Guess Obama no longer feels he needs to model himself after John F. Kennedy. JFK was a much more enlighten president. JFK felt it absolutely necessary the US should have a needed presence in space. JFK inspired NASA to build a rocket, orbiter, lunar lander and a earth reentry craft in a short 8 years. Obama can't fund a new program to bring our astronauts home, if needed. India, Japan and China will now surpass our presence in space.
We will now have 7 or so astronauts on the International Space Station that need the Russians good heart/goodwill to bring them back, if necessary. Our friends!
Wouldn't it be fair to say we should/could charge some rich tycoon or two $45-60 million dollars per ride to hop a shuttle and keep our shuttle project going. The government owns GM, why not a shuttle service. Call it Shuttles R-Us. The Russians will just turn around and charge for the rides to space, they will charge our Government and millionaires for the revenue - this way they will be paying for their space services. If we did it then the government could continue to take more and more from the upper crust.
Are you listening liberals, this was your choice for change! Wait till another nation (like China once did) accidentally hits one of our GSP/communications satellites and knocks out cell phones and the internet. Take away their phones and then all the libs will surely be screaming. Well, we're getting change!
