Thanks Obama: Russia To Let International Space Station De-Orbit And Fall Into Sea

[ShackledNation]

I think you misread or did not understand what I just said.

I said that I made several posts on this board in response to people who seem to think that if it isn't written in the Constitution, you can't spend money on it. I disagree with that belief. It does NOT need to be spelled out specifically in the Constitution, in order to spend money on it. If it did, we'd not have advanced past the 1700's in many ways.

In simpler langauge... I agree with you.

If its not a specific enumerated power money cannot be spent on it without an amendment. The space shuttle program was unconstitutional. I am respectfully disagreeing with you. It absolutely must be spelled out specifically.

And I respectfully disagree with you as well. See? We were both respectful. The rest of the board could learn something from us, eh?

Little bastards.....

Mostly me, because I am right.

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.

obama is one big assed wet blanket on America. Nuff said.

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.

This President will always be remembered for killing NASA. These are very humiliating times for our Nation.

The Space Program was one of they very few Government programs most Americans could agree on getting behind. That goes back to the JFK days. Now this President has killed it. Not a good legacy.

It's pretty ironic the Socialists/Progressives killed NASA. NASA was one of the very few Government Bureaucracies most Americans supported. So it probably wasn't the right Government Program to kill. The Socialists/Progressives screwed the pooch on this one.

This is what happens when you elect a POTUS that thinks America needs to pay for all of the crimes we supposedly have committed.

This is also what happens when you elect a POTUS that can't understand American exceptionalism.

The guy can't stomach military victory, how can he stomach a space program second to none.

The pooch and over 6,000 people who used to have jobs.

Most of whom have long memories and most of whom vote.

Not only that but 7,000 jobs were lost due to the Constellation Heavy Lift Vehicle program he cancelled and due to that it cost over 20,000 private sector jobs working on the project. Boy, Obama really is showing his pride and patriotism and love for America isn't he?

Are you rightwing idiots truly this ignorant? GWB canceled the program in 2004, not Obama:

Many falsehoods and misconceptions are being circulated around the Space Coast in the wake of the Obama Administration's release of its proposed 2011 NASA budget.

One common fallacy I've seen and heard is that "Obama cancelled the Space Shuttle."

No, he didn't.

The Bush Administration cancelled the Space Shuttle program in the wake of the Columbia accident.

On January 14, 2004, President Bush gave a speech in which he announced "a new focus and vision for future exploration."

Get your facts together and stop telling lies. Obama cancelled the Constellation program and heavy lift space vehicle. Never underestimate my intellect.
