Just because were america must we always be first. I think that was an ignorant statement because we can still have pride in our country while not on top, and if you dont have pride in your country while not on top then your not a true american. Holding off on our space exploration for a little while to fund education and other things that need to be taken care of HERE seems like a reasonable idea.

Yes, it does. Nasa is a complete waste of money and time. We need to take the $17.6 Billion per year we spend on studing space and put it to something useful like helping those of us here on earth. ie. our trillion dollar debt, medical research… just a few opptions… please tell me if I’m wrong.

Obama has clearly stated that he would delay the constellation program for 5 years to pay for his education programs. Sounds like a great idea… Since we are essentially donating all of our NASA rocket scientists to the European Space Agency, lets go ahead and give them our shuttles and our plans for the moon to China and the RKA.

McCain is CLEARLY in the right position here, going status quo with Bush’s moon mission.

A vote for Obama is a vote to make us 4th place in space… (RKA, ESA, Chinese Space Program, then NASA) Doesn’t that make you proud?

He sat on the committe with oversight responsibility when NASA took its position….

It really is unimpressive.
