That’s because the Kenyan usurper thinks NASA should do an outreach mission to the sheep-shaggers.

The only reason NASA was such a great deal was because they were in competition...with the Soviets. When we got to the moon, we won. After the Democrat Partys' hero-nation Soviet Union when teats-up in 1992, NASA no longer had any competition and became just another gubmint agency.

We need to privatize space travel.

NASA lost it's way a long time ago, the space station is nothing but a cash cow, I have no ideal what it is suppose to achieve. The problem with space flight is speed and reentry. What work has NASA done in that area in the last twenty years. The answer is 0. Let the air force take it back over at least they might try something to see if it works.

[Iron Munro]

NASA doesn’t have time or money to waste on space exploration.
It would detract from their presidential mission of reaching out to muslims.

[Cheetahcat]

NASA became a Affirmative Action “Jobs” bureaucracy ,nothing more, other than crashing shuttles once in a while.

The American people traded liberty for a TV clicker and HD. ALL of TV and Hollywood including Fox loves Oba and covers for him.

You all just need to sing this song everyday and get your mind’s right. Be like the rest of the stupid sheep who watch Obam TV.

Instead of awarding our retired space fleet to museums, we should be awarding contracts to go to Mars and beyond.

We will. There is change in the wind.

Maybe NASA can”t can’t get a rocket into space but at least they have a much fatter budget to do nothing meaningful with.

When yearly interest payments are > yearly GNP then the house of cards fall.

We will never exploit or colonize space under our current system, those in gov't learned a huge lesson with the American Revolution..............colonies will eventually be free and they will flourish!

The world gov't we have now wants nothing more than control and allowing humans off world, is a release of control.

We are planet locked until the anti-capitalist are removed.

When I was in college I used to dream of a Mars mission after reading a special edition of Discover on the idea. Maybe it was because in 4th grade I wrote a science report for a school assignment on Mars.

Now I am grown up. No country is sending people to Mars and certainly not the USA. We would be lucky to get a person to the Moon again. I dont even see that happening again. Can the USA even get a person in orbit anymore?

I was pretty young in the 1960s but since they actually made it to the moon (to beat the USSR there primarily) it must be that something changed dramically since then. The most obviously is that US skilled human labor has become extremely expensive and computer controlled machines have become much cheaper. That is why we send unmanned probes. The other is that the Federal government is very expensive.

Last: The US had money then (but not for long.) Now we are completely broke trying to figure out how much red ink we can run before the implosion, by doing it.

I don’t think I complained about Ethanol yet today, a classic government fix.
