    Default Don't let the SLS announcement fool ya'

    Don't let the SLS announcement fool ya' Obamaspace is not dead. Remember who we're talking about here- the guy elected as president who thinks he was made emperor. This ploy to run out the clock on the SLS was just one play in the Obama game. He is determined to gut NASA's HSF program and turn the agency into a think-tank. There are more dirty tricks to be pulled by his followers.

    Good news for Boeing however. The second stage contract for Ares has been retained by NASA and now they have both the first AND second stage for SLS.

    I fear what you say could happen Wes, but one can only hope.

    What's wrong with that? The Cold War is over, there is little need and justification for gov't operated HSF. I am not being facetious. The original need for NASA has passed and the biggest congress supporters only look at NASA as a jobs program. They aren't looking at NASA from a national perspective but only a local one. I don't like Obama, I didn't vote for him, he is doing a crap job, but Obamaspace is the right thing for NASA to do. NASA doesn't need to do engineering challenges like Apollo, shuttle and ISS, it needs to do basic research and technology development and use commercial services to help achieve this. America doesn't need SLS at this time and certainly neither does NASA.

    Obamaspace is changing by the day. It's becoming more like the former program of record than the administration would likely want to admit.

    Perhaps China's push into space might have something to do with it?

    My favorite has been watching the ever-grinning Lori Garver talk about the SLS as if this was Obama's plan all along! You'd think he had a model of it on his desk in Feb. 2010 from the way she talks.

    i don't agree with your point of view...i guess the present government is making utmost efforts to ensure that space program continues despite recession and weakening economy.

    "the present government" "utmost efforts" ??? Those are terms so general they should be wearing stars.

    Exactly who and what branch of "the present government" are we talking about and exactly what are these "utmost efforts" ??

    It's apparent that what the poster mentioned is just not the case. Spaceflight is at the bottom of the totem pole, again.

    It sure is rediculous that this happening. Too bad Obama does not know the value of space.
