With the VA, IRS, NSA, HHS, DHS… I don’t think they have to worry about that any time soon.

Wrong as usual Ron. Read this and go back in your hole.

“In October 2012, a prototype OG2 satellite was stranded in the wrong orbit when the Falcon 9 launch vehicle suffered a failure of one of its nine engines. The spacecraft re-entered the atmosphere four days after launch.

This mission has been delayed multiple times. According to Spaceflightnow.com’s launch schedule page, the flight has been “delayed from September, November, April 30, May 10, May 27, June 11 and June 12.”

Aren’t you sick of being schooled continually and then lying to try and prove your misguided and biased points? Even you can use the internet to gather information.

I look forward to more lying and biased and unproven information from you. Get a grip.

Right wing – harness the wild spirits of the private sector to fly us to the moon.”

Sure isn’t what we’re seeing in the left and right wing these days!
The wild spirits of the private sector are getting trampled by the GOP, with dramatic budget cuts aimed squarely at commercial space, which is surely where the wildest spirits reside. At least Mr. Shelby, Mr. Wolf, and Mr. Smith are cracking the whip on capitalist companies to obey the government’s plan. They’re leaning hard left, I guess.

there is coming (in my view) a 1932 style election snap. Right now I just dont know which way it breaks. (I Hope it breaks Democratic ie very liberal but its hard to know now)

Then prepare a low cost plan for creating a Moon Base – half NASA’s current budget.

Left wing – make those capitalist companies obey the government’s plan.

Right wing – harness the wild spirits of the private sector to fly us to the moon.

NO ONE I mean no one outside the space “community” and groupies are listening or care about anything NASA is doing. The “Policy” debate is no where on the national radar.

What NASA risk at somepoint, and this might be coming is becoming a national poster child for how the government operates…

There are political currents flowing in both parties that have a populist “Hang them all” or “damn it why dont they listen to us” ring…these voices have always been there but more and more people are joining the choir.

NASA and SLS/Orion, the military and F-35 and now Obama and his “its only 500 million to arm the Syrian (whatever you think that they are) fighters” is illustrative of small things which are coming to be poster children for a government run amock.
