Apparently the Washington Post came up with a blast from the past from the Outsourcer in Chief.
" Obama 2010: Outsourcing space flights to Russia is more efficient
The Washington Post reports that during President Obama’s first term, he outsourced NASA jobs by awarding space shuttle flights to foreign countries such as Russia to send astronauts to the International Space Station.
In April 2010, President Obama promoted the idea in a major speech on space policy insisting that outsourcing space flights to other countries would be more efficient.
“Some have said, for instance, that this plan gives up our leadership in space by failing to produce plans within NASA to reach low Earth orbit, instead of relying on companies and other countries,” Obama said.
“But we will actually reach space faster and more often under this new plan, in ways that will help us improve our technological capacity and lower our costs, which are both essential for the long-term sustainability of space flight.”
