Tell the organization who literally wrote the book on going to the moon and then went there how it should be done. Tell thousands of us engineers with advanced degrees in aerospace, computer science, mathematics, physics, mechanical & electrical engineering how it's supposed to work. Because we're just too stupid.

Hi I'm Barack Obama. I stayed at a Holiday Inn and I can show you guys how to really run a space program.

Let's cancel Ares 1 and Orion, Nasa's next rocket, which has actually flown, in favor of another rocket that hasn't flown yet. And even if it does fly it won't measure up to what Orion could be capable of.

Let's also cancel Ares V, the heavy lift launch vehicle we need to get beyond low earth orbit, because low earth orbit is our goal. Let's research how to build heavy lift vehicles and partner with other countries because we can learn so much from their non-existant heavy lift launchers. Pay no attention to that Saturn V on display over at JSC and KSC that was built using technology from 45 years ago.

Let's cut Nasa's space exploration program, which was only short $3 billion, and end Nasa's shuttle fleet. THEN we can add a $billion to Nasa's budget and direct them to take temperature readings and research rocket technologies they already know about for some nebulous undefined far off mission. That way for $2 billion less we can have nothing instead of a lunar program which we can use to learn to harness the resources of the solar system and tap in to Helium-3 from the moon which could power the US for a year using 40 tons of the stuff.

Is there anyone with a brain left in this country?

Unfortunately, when politicians are trying to save their ass. Yeah, layoff skilled engineers developing future technologies so we can feed the winos, politician logic. Pathetic

WT? One day you whine about a trillion dollar deficit, the next day you want to colonize Mars?

OBOMMUNISM:

1) Borrow 3 trillion from ourselves. Feed it directly to Mr. and Mrs. 40K/yr. (The people who buy groceries. The people who buy cars. The people who work 9-5 m-f ) Oh, yeah, (the people who vote)
2) Get out of Iraq, Afghanistan, let Bush tax cuts for the rich expire. Cut Military spending on TOYS.
3) Put the Clinton Economic team on projected Chicken Little Deficit, reduce it to zero.
40 Don't hire any chubby interns.

You don't understand, our interest in Mars is to do what the English did when they colonized Australia. We would send our misfits to Mars!

If,......in the history of all mankind.....you needed to find a place to realistically generate the largest pile of cash that ever existed.....these UNITED STATES would still be the place. WARNING: Do not build pyramids, invade Poland, or get into bed with guys from Enron or Exxon.... Avoid temptation, and it would actually be pretty easy to not only erase the deficit, but engineer a sound rational economy that is tooled to do the most good for the most people.

There is no high, no gold medal, no achievement thinkable.......that would make President Barack Obama feel closer to God.....than gazing over the highest standard of living that has ever existed on this planet and saying "LOOK WHAT A M@THERF&CKIN" BLACK MAN DID!!!!!!!"

I'm not talking about a $trillion. I'm talking about just $2 billion more. Something that fits well within our resources if it weren't for literally $trillions being wasted on crap. And I'm talking about a program that will have massive payoffs if it's done right.

TRACY:

Conse 'Pubs are linguists, no? Here are some examples I've heard!

That is $300,000 that he's going to waste on that! Do you know how much money that is?

That program will cost $200B for 3 or 4 years! That's almost a trillion dollars!!
$600B to $800B is almost what? In other words, 60% to 80% is almost 100%.

It's not trillions; it's ONLY $2B!

No, republicans are talking about how the programs funded in this budget will leave us with a debt of over $20 trillion in ten years. You can call that linguistics, but it still means we're fucked.

I'm talking about an extra $2 billion. You know, like last year when the cash for clunkers program needed an extra $2 billion. Congress instantly says, sure no problem. Here you go. But maintain the US's lead in space? Invest in future technologies that will provide literally worlds of resources, no that's too expensive.
