Obama under fire for gutting NASA's human flight program

NASA is a product of a different age, namely, when the government didn't spend obscene amounts of money on education and health care.

Yeah we should do useless sh**t rather than educate our children and take care of our elderly! How do you sleep at night?

High school graduation rates peaked in 1969 when barack obama was a child. Back when barack obama was a child and going to school, the education system didn't require the glut of teachers and massive spending it has today. The same is true of course of Medicare/caid spending and enrollments. He turned out fine.

I wouldn't want education or healthcare from 1969.  You want to compete with China with 1969 education and healthcare?  Wow.

Why? By objective standards both were more than reasonable, and in many ways, better.

Wow.  So abolish CT scans and MRIs?!  Are you Republicans serious?  That's your plan?

Obama '12... the sane choice.

yeah, nothing of educational or inspirational value going on here....move along students

The space shuttle makes a pretty picture for the idiocracy but amongst the scientists that actually work in astronomy and astrophysics there have been real questions about manned space flight for years.  Far more science is obtained from unmanned probes and satellites for the money spent.

The Space Shuttle is one of the worst examples of human space flight.  It is overly complex, dangerous, and ridiculously expensive.  Plus it never worked as intended.  That is not to say it didn't have its positive points but if you are going to get rid of waste fraud and abuse you should definitely go after a multibillion dollar boondoggle.

That's the nature of slashing budgets my Republican friend.  Like others on here have tried to explain to you when the budget gets slashed some of your pet projects are going to suffer too.  I guess you'll just have to watch cheesy action movies if you want to inspire yourself with images like that.

I love it one guy wants to get rid of CT scans and MRIs and the other wants to fund a multibillion dollar flying death trap.  What a macabre party.

You're either not very smart or intentionally being dense.

There were no CT scans or MRIs during your golden age of medicine.  Considering your policy positions you need to take it easy on questioning people's intelligence.
