I am all for space exploration, as it has defense applications that are part of the federal government’s Constitutional duties.
This, however, smells a whole lot like propaganda or possibly cronyism.
Obama killed the NASA manned exploration, then got his lunch eaten by Putin, which meant Americans and the space lab up there were on the low priority list....
Now Obama wants to take credit for getting us “back in space”. Balderdash.
I’ve used this kind of illustration before, but with Obama it is like “I’ve destroyed an entire city block, but for the tv cameras I’ll go to one corner of that block with a broom and sweep for five minutes. Be sure you let everyone know I am responsible for the clean up.”
And the sycophant media complies.
Obama and the Democrats will always take credit for anything they can grab, especially when they broke it to begin with. That fact does nothing whatsoever to change the importance of a permanent space exploration and space development activity by government, business, and society.
