Without the Shuttle, we will never be able to go into orbit ever again to fix any of our satellites. If the Hubble Telescope breaks down again, it's toast. The Russians have no vehicle capable of going to satellites like what I mentioned.
The astronauts' fifth overhaul of the Hubble Space Telescope was the last planned mission to repair the telescope, or any satellite for that matter.
In all, there have been 10 space repair missions by shuttle crews, half of them to Hubble.
Thought you want tax cuts? Make up your confused mind Willow.obama is one big assed wet blanket on America. Nuff said.
he's a big assed wet blanket on America. Shit an go.
Where does it say in the Constitution the gov has to provide you a home, car, AC, TV, cell phones, PCs, and pay your utility bills?????First of all, let's have the constitutional conservatives show us where in the Constitution does the federal government get the power to spend money exploring space?
Then they can tell us why their beloved for profit private sector hasn't stepped up and filled the gap here.
I don't think you'll find anyone who considers this President a friend to NASA. These are very embarrassing & humiliating times for our Nation. It does feel like the demoralizing Jimmy Carter Malaise of the 70's. It's pretty depressing.
She would do a lot better job than obamaturd has done.I'm just happy you didn't try and tie this back to how this will help Palin become the next president. Refreshing.
Why? Please elaborate in detail.I don't think you'll find anyone who considers this President a friend to NASA. These are very embarrassing & humiliating times for our Nation. It does feel like the demoralizing Jimmy Carter Malaise of the 70's. It's pretty depressing.
We should have dumped NASA years ago.
Idiot alert!!!Just as I said in my last thread about Obama handing over the reigns of the ISS to the Russians, this was a treasonous act committed by the president. Obama ended our domination of space after 50 years of ingenuity and American pride. After widespread American heartbreak after Obama cancelled the Orion Constellation Program that was to take us back to the moon and with the last landing of the Space Shuttle last Thursday, Russia declared the 'era of the Soyuz' has begun. Now the Russians have just come out and stated that they will now let the International Space Station de-orbit and fall into the China Sea like they did with their Mir Space Station because they don't have a space vehicle like the shuttle powerful enough that can fire it's thrusters while docked to the station so it can gain a higher orbit after being tugged by the earths gravity for a while causing it to come closer to the earth. What this amounts to is them letting multi billions of dollars of American taxpayers money and technology fall into the sea. I said in the last thread that with Obama basically de-activating our space roll was putting America's national security at risk. I warned that Russia now has free reign to roam the orbit of the earth possibly de-activating our military and civilian satellites putting American communication and missile targeting systems at risk while we have no space capability to travel into orbit to counter them. My fellow Americans, our usurper who has been acting president is systematically dismantling this nation piece by piece in an attempt to destabilize the state of the union and put us in peril and there seems to be no stopping him permanently.
Russia Plans to Sink the International Space Station in 2020 - FoxNews.com
Excerpts from the Article:
We will be forced to sink the ISS. We cannot leave it in orbit as it is a very complicated and a heavy object," Roscosmos' deputy head Vitaly Davydov said in an interview posted on the agency's website
SNIP~
After sinking hundreds of millions into construction of the space station -- billions if you include the cost of the space shuttle flights that carried the ISS modules into orbit -- knowledgeable government sources and NASA spokesmen were aghast at Davydov's plans to sink the station in the ocean
Oh, my! You have been paranoid projection dreaming again. Just back away slowly and when I snap my fingers you will awaken.
It's gonna cost us a whole lot paying the Russians to get us up there. Both in morale and cash. The Russians are licking their chops. They love this.
Private sector will probably have to get pass the EPA which will be hard to do these days.. They will find some environment reason why the private sector cant take over. Obama not only killed the jobs within NASA he also killed the small business around NASA .They estimate that the loss of jobs for closing NASA will be 10K or more.
Private sector??!! Deary you are in a Capitalist system. There just isn't any demand for a space station, and paying their fair share of taxes. We haven't even developed bullet train transportation yet. The space monster is out of the question and budget.
So you'd be happy to see billions of dollars of our technology fall into the hands of the Chinese and Russians?
Very good point. NASA is unconstitutional. The only functions of NASA that can be considered constitutional are those that have to do with defense, like Satellite systems. NASA has been inefficient, and much of its technology is actually outdated.First of all, let's have the constitutional conservatives show us where in the Constitution does the federal government get the power to spend money exploring space?
Then they can tell us why their beloved for profit private sector hasn't stepped up and filled the gap here.
No, we are actually paying private companies like SpaceX to get up there, and it is 10 times cheaper than it was under NASA.It's gonna cost us a whole lot paying the Russians to get us up there. Both in morale and cash. The Russians are licking their chops. They love this.

You want to cut waste? I would start with cutting welfare checks and SSI checks to minorities. The hard working American taxpayers are being raped by this atrocity. NASA should be fully funded.Why? Please elaborate in detail.We should have dumped NASA years ago.
ccording to the Office of Management and Budget and the Air Force Almanac, when measured in real terms (adjusted for inflation), the figure is $790.0 billion, or an average of $15.818 billion dollars per year over its fifty year history (NASA's 2011 budget is on a continuing resolution of the 2010 budget at $18.724 billion.

PICK ONE!!
1.Provide dental care to American children
2.Provide housing for the homeless
3.Repair our schools
4.Beef up border patrol
5.Etc.
You retards want to cut waste, so,..........CUT the fucking waste!!!
How is America suppose to remain dominate in space which instills American Pride and Patriotism. Like Sarah Palin said as well as the former Apollo Astronauts, we must maintain America Exceptionalism.Cutting NASA's space program is probably the only thing Obama has done that is in line with free market thinking. But it was the last cut that needed to be made. Other spending is far more unproductive and inefficient.
The same way it is dominant in industries without government intervention. Read my earlier posts. I think you need to research the company SpaceX.How is America suppose to remain dominate in space which instills American Pride and Patriotism. Like Sarah Palin said as well as the former Apollo Astronauts, we must maintain America Exceptionalism.Cutting NASA's space program is probably the only thing Obama has done that is in line with free market thinking.
