Of course our space program is not in the Constitution, but it was something Americans were proud of and has contributed to many things that have improved our everyday life, such as the satellites that help with weather forecasting, i.e. hurricanes, just one of many benefits which I don't know how you can put a price tag on. Obama isn't proud of this country and this is just another way of bringing us down another peg, IMO.
I also think you're one hell of an SOB and your reply is totally ignorant. BTW, after reading your profile, I'm still working in DoD, so I can say stuff it! My comment has nothing to do with big gov't. Satellites have probably been some of the better spent money than all the other waste that our goes into some black hole.
