(CNSNews.com) -- Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Chairman John D. Rockefeller (D.-W.V.) says he is a substantial skeptic of human spaceflight and that not all outlets for American exploration are glorious.
Rockefeller made his remarks during a hearing last week where astronauts Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, and Eugene Cernan, the last man on the moon, testified against President Barack Obamas fiscal year 2011 budget because it would cancel NASAs Constellation manned space program.

The song about Willie going into orbit was damned funny.
I can see November, etc.
White Imperialism on the Moon? Rockefeller must’ve gotten hold of some bad moonshine, or crystal meth, or something...
I’m so old I can remember a day when we were PROUD of our accomplishments in space exploration. And wasn’t the moon race the brainchild of liberal icon John Kennedy? Are we to understand that Sen. Rockefeller is impugning the vision of one of the Left’s gods?????
Rockefeller just another America-Hating Liberal Globalist....like all of the Rockefellers. I guess the Council of Foreign Relations (aka Council of Fascist Retards) does not like manned space flight....because one nation did it best and the others really could not
The Rockefellers are worse than just that. They are anti-American globalist elites. Use the "I" word or not (Illuminati) they are traitors.
What has that lard Azzed Communist Pig ever done?
And so the Glorious Dream, of an America leading Mankind into the Heavens, to go where no transgendered has gone before.....dies.....
RIP.
Savor your memories, Neil.
But exploring socialism IS glorious?
Loopy Louie, not Willie...
The Space Shuttle if you ask me has been a dismal failure and a monumental waste of time. Sure, it launched hubble and other satellites but they are far cheaper ways to get stuff up in near orbit. We should have had men to Mars by now. I have a lot at stake here to, I want off this freakin planet.
Can't West Virginia send some folksy banjo-plucking coal minin' country man from Butcher Holler to take this effete nimrod's Senate seat?
Let me guess: Money keeps getting this fancy poindexter re-elected.
These people hate themselves and the human race.
I know that sounds extreme but how else do you explain their hatred of human achievement?...Or their hatred of success, of wealth, of status, of ability, etc?
How can you look at space flight and come to the conclusion that there is no benefit to mankind? Just how can you be skeptical?
If you are going to steal from humans for YOUR “kindhearted” cause then let it fund NASA, not ACORN, you bastards!
Behind the scenes, these are the George Bernard Shaw types.
I love the human race, but I utterly detest these people.
In my world they would not have the power they have, not a chance.
They are the worst of the worst. They are serial killers.
Rockerfeller and his ilk will not be happy until mankind devolves back to the equivalent of sea lichens. That way everyone will finally be equal. Kind of like the far future foretold in HG Well’s “The Time Machine”.
This free and open communication path is one of the things that cab save us.
Another blue blood elite communist spews forth satanic verse.
LLS
That man isn’t fit to lick the soles of their shoes.
“Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Chairman John D. Rockefeller (D.-W.V.) “
This doesn’t say very good things about WV that they elected this anti-America human sludge.
Imagine that, all the benefits of an all-out nuke attack without the fallout. A genocidal dictator's dream, no?
