On the one hand, there is no possible way the money can be found in the budget to fund SLS/Orion through any realistic campaign of human landings on the moon and/or Mars. On the other hand many are convinced it will save America and the agency is spending money as fast as it can on new hardware to try to institutionalize SLS/Orion so they can say its “too big ot fail”.

So I guess if you are not happy you may still try to get the government out of your Medicare at the next election cycle. See how the message goes this time. Even in Florida. Just for fun. Please come back then and tell us all. Or maybe you just wait until you retire and send the famous check back. Leading by example. Right?

In the meantime I’ll wait for the tectonics thing.

to be a player in the “how do we divide up the money when SLS and orion go away” game which is soon going to be played.

Dream on. Should SLS be canceled, the money goes straight towards solving the “fiscal cliff” problem and paying off the federal government’s creditors,>>

there is no data to support that statement…one would think that the “faith based” analysis would have died with the Willard campaign…(still scoffing at that)…the reality is that some money is coming out of NASA, its not going across the board; there have to be some wounded shot…SLS is among the dying Kill it (and orion) send 1 billion on defict reduction reprogram the rest…

Watch RGO

Dream on. Should SLS be canceled, the money goes straight towards solving the “fiscal cliff” problem and paying off the federal government’s creditors, lest its credit rating be sunk yet again. In the unlikely chance any money escapes from that process, it will be transferred to DoD space programs to make up for budget cuts there. Practically everything NASA is doing is a frivolous luxury by comparison.
