NASA to spiral down the drain.

[Lorizael]

Quite contrary to what he promised in the campaign, Obama is increasing funding for NASA.

Hypocrites.

[Naked Gents Rut]

You really must be loving Obama, then.

[Ramo]

You guys haven't been paying attention. He flip-flopped on NASA during the campaign, when FL started looking winnable.

[Lorizael]

You really must be loving Obama, then.

Uh, yeah, and every other politician ever?

Edit: Plus all humans that make declarative statements or claim to have principles.

Edit: Plus everyone else.

Permanent installations on the Moon and Mars?

It's possible. The real question is: Why?

[Dinner]

Just because we can?

[Winston]

If you're so cheap, you could outsorce the financing for NASA to other countries. I know I'd pay a couple of hundred bucks to help them get to the Moon and Mars, I'm sure loads of other people would too.

[DinoDoc]

Just because we can?

That kind of thinking led to the AIG bailout.

[Zkribbler]

What isn't Obama increasing funding for?

Iraq War

Gitmo

Waterboarding equipment

That Superhighway Bush wanted to use to ship foreign goods on Mexican trucks from Mexico through East Texas, thereby putting American dockworkers and teamsters out of work.

[Dinner]

Quite contrary to what he promised in the campaign, Obama is increasing funding for NASA.

Woo! Obama!

[DanS]

You would be much better off transferring NASA's portfolio to the Navy. NASA's main objective is to pay the salaries of engineers warehoused from the big space days who are waiting for retirement .

homosexual youths > old engineers

[DanS]

Homosexual youths are much cheaper than 60 year old engineers.

Or at least I've heard.

[Naked Gents Rut]

Nevermind...

[Naked Gents Rut]

Nah. I just missed Dan's post initially and said pretty much the same thing he did.
