The space program is one of the few worthwhile things the Feds fund. Therefore it’s only natural Obama doesn’t want to “waste” money there.

Has anyone noticed anything that was developed by descendants or emigrants of Europe is now being destroyed or devalued? The whole power/auto industries, were all given to us by titans like Edison and Ford and engine advancements by Richardo etc. In the space programs it was the Germans that came here that helped springboard us. Any industry (including Space) that is white and nerdy (Thank You Weird Al" Yankovic) is being destroyed or will suplanted as the assets are devalued or destroyed by convoluted schemes. Those that hold equity in these systems (Grandma's Utility Stocks) will be wiped out as it is replaced with a "new" industry in our dear leaders image....

G_d help us....

.....................

manned space flight is worthless"

So instead we will get NASA spending money on global climate change propaganda, helping Islamic space programs and paying the Russians. That is the leadership under Obama.

Wow. Armstrong was perfectly happy to fade into obscurity after he left NASA. He’s never made a public statement like this!
