(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 Obama’s fiscal year 2011 budget because it would cancel NASA’s Constellation manned space program.

I completely agree. Neil Armstrong is one of the classiest Americans to have ever lived.
After the old German guys at NASA retired and it was made a jobs program it became useless.
Neil Armstrong is a hero. He saved a Gemini mission and the Apollo 11 landing besides everything else. His skill as a pilot was incredible plus he is a smart guy.
Rockefeller is a POS who never did anything in his life.
Rockefeller is an idiot.
Study the history.
Yes, it all really happened.
With a regulated economy, powerful unions, and plenty of money, spaceflight, several trips to the moon, they all happened.
If we can, we should.
Period.
I’m surprised he’s still alive. If I were Neil Armstrong, I’d probably take him over to a tank of compressed nitrogen and stab him in the chest with the compressor.
Neil is great man while Rockefeller is a POS.
I think Buzz Aldrin might do it. Send Rockefeller into space.
That’s one small speech for Rockefeller, and one giant leap backward for mankind.
Maybe, won’t be 20 years before we’ll have no one left who walked on the moon.
A sad testament.
Thanks Obama!
I was just thinking those same words to apply to him.
He is one of those that’s causing this country to go into the toilet. He also wants Americans dead.
Rockefeller is a moron
What? Does Rockefeller think his name means anything these days? Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan did more for this country than Body Odor ever thought of doing.
Rockefeller needs to be put in stocks and stoned, right alongside BO and his minions.
Who can vote for this walking POS?
I will never understand it.
“And what has this thug ever done besides grow up.”
Are you sure about that? Please cite your sourses for that assertion!
