He’s from Ohio. We once shot a Democratic Senator into space, and when he got back he had been replaced by a Republican.

Perhaps BHO remembers this...plus, there’s no potential Democratic voters on the moon....

The Russians have won the space race!

In some ways, they have. When they put up the long duration Salyut and MIR space stations, that was seen as a way to long term spaceflight, something we need when we go out to Mars and beyond although you would also need artificial gravity too but you can make a wheel and spin it to create that since the human body does need gravity to insure good bone health. Also with the Russians being not as technically advanced as we are they did very well with less. IT is like we spent millions to make a pen that writes in zero gravity, the Russian solution was to use a pencil.

Any former and current NASA employees that are Democrats are dumber than a box of rocks. Being Democrats, they just hooked their anchors to a sinking ship.

Armstrong has always struck me as an intensely private man, for him to come out like this is a true harbinger of how vile Obama is.

>"hero Neil Armstrong Tuesday lashed out at President Barack Obama's decision to axe NASA plans to return to the Moon, describing the move as "devastating" to the US space program.

Just devastating Neil?

Could you imagine being an astronaut unuder this policy. The astronauts are supposed to “hitch a ride” from the Russians? What if the Russians WON’T bring them back??? What then? I’d NEVER be an astronaut under these conditions.

Yep.
It’s unprecedented. He has always handled his status very carefully.

His words will carry much weight now.
