Am I the only person ashamed of what this nation has become?
Thank God President Reagan didn’t live to see this.
We have pissed it all away in less than twenty years.
The death of testosterone and drive. It started in the schools with the oppression of boys and the empowerment of girls. Yes, Apollo 13 was a failed mission, but if you watch the movie, take note of the drive, passion and innovation of the men on the ground as well as the astronauts. Couple the demasculinization of men with the many federal regulations governing workplace behavior aimed at paralyzing men... Let’s just say it’s no wonder we can’t do ANYTHING anymore.
Something tells me Hupperberger has some aerospace contractors in his district.
Got his name wrong, but a quick search confirmed my suspicion:

His top donors are all aerospace contractors. Your Congress, America. Owned by the special interests.
It’s difficult to lead a race when you have no money...
20 years ago the U.S. had 70 percent of the commercial satellite market which is now down to 27 percent

Back then we were stabbing Communism to death
Today we have a Communist stabbing US to death
When we stopped sending men to the moon we stopped finding inteligent life.
Want to find intelligent life on Mars, put Men on Mars.

He said there were several broad areas that needed fixing.
Top of the list is arms export reform. The so-called ITAR laws and regulations that govern what American companies can sell to foreign countries have crippled the US industry.
“Over time the policies meant to protect us are having the opposite effect,” the lawmaker said.
Didn't Clinton do this back when we had 70 percent of the market?
“The nation that made it to the Moon in 12 years now struggles to build a satellite in that time and is at risk of losing its preeminence in space.”
After the Space Shuttle retires, we’ll be hitching rides to the International Space Station with the Russians.
We as a nation don’t do things very well anymore...
We live in a country that:
1. No longer salutes the flag at school
2. Won’t secure its borders
3. Forcibly de-emphasizes the strength of the traditional family
4. Elects “leaders” who won’t trumpet the greatness of America but are very quick to condemn it on the world stage
5. Has Maoists, closet pedophiles and muslims in its government
6. Lets unrestrained immigration permanently alter its demographic composition to the point of threatening its very existence
7. Is comprised of far too many people who would rather vote to grab goodies for themselves rather than do what’s needed to strengthen the country.
So, what do we expect?
We’ve died from a thousand cuts. All our resources are now consumed by those who want to regulate everything, sue over any offence and those who want their free stuff at someone elses expense.
N.A.S.A. has become little more than another very big govt. agency. Too big and entrenched to do any on the edge exploration.
Afraid to take ANY chances.
/sarc.
Actually, under the current administration, this nation now struggles to do pretty much of anything.
Oh - except waste un-effing-believable amounts of money by pouring it down various government crap holes; at that, Obama has been an enormous success.
“U.S. Losing Space Race”
The U.S. has been losing just about everything since Barack Hussein Obama took over the Presidency illegitimately.
Were going to have to ride Russian and Chinese rockets to get to the ISS starting next year.
Uhhh, the Space Race is over, we won it in 1969. You might have heard about it, it was in all the papers.
Like Publisher's Clearinghouse says: "You can't win if you don't enter!"
