Why don't we care? Why don't we fund our engineers and scientists to steer us into the future anymore?

Because tree huggers, the greens, tree frog activists exist. Plus the Chief Community Organizer In Charge says "You didn't build that."

Fair enough Obama fucked our ambitions for outer space. He's been at best a horrific disappointment. Bush on the other hand; his plan to go to the moon is probably the only thing I agreed with him on in his entire Presidency.

Now that we're passed that...

How do we get America interested in achieving the impossible again? Yeah sure ISIS is trying to attack Turkey and Netanyahu is saying that Israel is blah blah BLAH!

WTF???

We landed on the moon 45 years ago!!!!! It took us 66 years from a 12 second flight by the Wright bros. in 1903 to a flight to the moon in 1969!!! Why did we stop?????

Before Obama took office we were ranking something like #31 in healthcare and #29 in mathematics.

However, we are #1 for having the most incarcerated, and also rank pretty high in the self confidence department.

It must be Saul Alinsky's fault.

It's our president who doesn't give a damn. Probably because he's not American.

Maybe because the Constitution says the federal government is to promote the useful arts and sciences, not fund them. Just a thought.

Under Obama the NASA budget increased 2.9 billion to 4.3 billion.

The federal government won the moon race. And we became a superpower in large part because of our engineering and science.

Just a thought.

If we had waited for private industry to fund space exportation, we would still be waiting.

Everyone cut NASA. And now here we are focusing on freaking ISIS and Turkey instead of engineering ourselves into outer space. How shitty of us.

Obama announced NASA's goal was "muslim outreach". 'Nuff said.
