...no point. Why would you even risk stirring up a hornets nest over something that could not matter less right now? He's making Hillary look better and there is no reason for it. Good lord, what next? Tax bullets and beer?

I :heart: NASA, but it would also be a wonderful thing to open up space exploration to private industry. We'd probably be a whole lot further along without all of the gov't red tape.

NO! NO! NASA and space and USA are all together, synonymous. It's a tie that binds. No one wants the Virgin or Halliburton Shuttle Launch pregame.

Calm down! I still want NASA, BUT I would like to see some sort of civilian space travel in my lifetime. You leave it in the hands of the government and our great great great grandchildren will still be orbiting the Earth in the space shuttle.

...calm down!!! Virgin can open up a taxi service so you and Vrail can go smoke and drink in sub orbit. I just don't want any commercialization of the space programs.

And how cool would it be to have a Google Mars or Google Saturn?

That is probably the only place left where we will be able to smoke.

WTF are you talking about???

Or have you just run out of reasons to whine about Obama, so you're resorting to pulling random statements out of your butt?

Both is best.

As much as the unknowing cry about civilian military contractors...if not for them, we would have had a draft years ago.

NASA is key, but certainly welcomes civilian involvement.
