I wonder what role the moon plays in Islam? Would going to the moon under his presidency violate some Islamic tenet?
Without any doubt! There is no other explanation for the actions of the current ruling fascists.
My guess? The “race for space” requires a winner. But obama wants a level playing field. Maybe if the UN organized a space mission he would support that.
I don’t think it’s any more complicated than him prioritizing social programs over space/military spending.
obama is not intellectually interested in progress.........the ONLY progress he wants is in his community organizer roots......wealth redistribution. He wants the ultimate welfare state to please his people. an affirmative action harvard grad who cannot even pronounce corpsman and has no interest in furthering our technology. yeah, that’s change we can believe in.
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face and arms began to swell.
(and Whitey’s on the moon)
I can’t pay no doctor bill.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still.
(while Whitey’s on the moon)
The man jus’ upped my rent las’ night.
(’cause Whitey’s on the moon)
No hot water, no toilets, no lights.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
I wonder why he’s uppi’ me?
(’cause Whitey’s on the moon?)
I wuz already payin’ ‘im fifty a week.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Taxes takin’ my whole damn check,
Junkies makin’ me a nervous wreck,
The price of food is goin’ up,
An’ as if all that sh!t wuzn’t enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell.
(with Whitey on the moon)
Her face an’ arm began to swell.
(but Whitey’s on the moon)
Was all that money I made las’ year
(for Whitey on the moon?)
How come there ain’t no money here?
(Hmm! Whitey’s on the moon)
Y’know I jus’ ‘bout had my fill
(of Whitey on the moon)
I think I’ll sen’ these doctor bills,
Airmail special
(to Whitey on the moon)
Well according to more than one of our astronauts we were “warned off” the Moon last time we were there...:o)
But I think he just does not give a rat’s ass about space exploration.
Normally I might agree with you, but in these times we can’t afford a new bucket to pee in, much less a trip to the moon AGAIN.
The saddest thing to me is that so many seem to be chugging the privatization kool aide. Its a wonderful goal but its also a fantasy as long as the international outer space treaty exists. Space is off limits to profit makers and military just like Antarctica.
As far as American companies are concerned, space taxis and cargo haulers is all they can aspire to. Aside from the occasional communications satellite they’ll primarily work on government contracts anyway.
China on the other hand isn’t going to let any stinking treaties get in their way. They’ve already shown an interest in militarization and if they find a profit to be made we’ll be decades behind if ever.
Yeah, going to the moon is like ONE percent of his slush fund. Can’t be wasting it on something useless. /S
Exactomundo!
Obama wants a mindless meek society that will be his worker ants, its all about HIS ideologies, the Marxism views, HIS idea of America co-existing with Islam.
The problem is when you mate a horse with a donkey you may get a unique animal but they by themselves cannot breed any alike, mules do not breed more mules.
With NASA having been infested with leftists that support the myth of Global Warming and other such nonsense, I am not sure that we need a publicly funded space program any more.
No moon trip, and no more space program because Obama does not want the USA to return to its former greatness. Also, he’s going to use the money to redistribute wealth from those who earned it through the sweat of their brow to those who vote democrat.
Well, you see, it’s because of Global Warming. If you take a temperature reading of the tail end of one of those rockets, I bet you’d find it is hotter than 30 or 40 Chevy trucks! Bad for the environment, (poor polar bears), etc. Dem logic is right on as usual. Other than that ... there NOT ONE REASON!
And if anybody really believed we would be back on the moon by 2020 then I've got some oceanfront property in Nevada I'd like to talk to you about.
This is simple...but you have to think like a ‘Rat....no engineers..intellectuals..doctors etc are gettin’ da cash...only union thugs...an’ nonna dem are bulidon’ and ridin’ rockets....ya see...capich?
Let's put it in simple terms that Obama can understand.
Mr. President, remember Lt. Dan telling Forrest Gump about his new prosthetic legs made from titanium alloy. "It's what they use on the space shuttle." Well there are a whole bunch of other things that the space program has given us. Yes, Mr. President, Tang is one of them.
Where did we get this guy?
