Wake up call.. The nations that lead on the frontiers, dictate the course of human history. pssttt I think Reagan was a "space geek" too... "Nowhere is this more important than our next frontier: space. Nowhere do we so effectively demonstrate our technological leadership and ability to make life better on Earth. The Space Age is barely a quarter of a century old. But already we've pushed civilization forward with our advances in science and technology. Opportunities and jobs will multiply as we cross new thresholds of knowledge and reach deeper into the unknown.

Our progress in space, taking giant steps for all mankind, is a tribute to American teamwork and excellence. Our finest minds in government, industry and academia have all pulled together. And we can be proud to say: We are first; we are the best; and we are so because we're free. "America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain." -Ronald Wilson Reagan

Obama will end up losing the battle to defund the Constellation program to go with all his other losing policies in his failed presidency.

Whatever. If we were claiming the places that we went for the U.S. I might support it, but I don’t buy for a second the generic feel good BS about spending money on space.

Careful - there are numerous anti-NASA trolls haunting FR. The bean-counter type you replied to is just one of several types. Just keep in mind that killing NASA has long been an unwritten plank in the Democrate party - J. Edwards campained on doing just that.
