Obama Readies to Blast NASA... to the dustbin.

[Autumnlicious]

I think that the space program is becoming too costly to be in the hands of a single country. I think that countries should get together to form a multi-national space program with shared resources and etc.

This is absolute bullshit. The costs of running the US Space Program is absolutely neglible.

Why not let facts speak, instead of your dumb ass poop chute? I doubt much thought occurs there anyhow.

NASA's FY 2008 budget of $17.318 billion represents about 0.6% of the $2.9 trillion United States federal budget during the year, or about 35% of total spending on academic scientific research in the United States.

It is because of people like you, Mehmet, who spout out such misleading lies about costs while ignoring context that the United States of America is insistent on cutting one of it's most unbiased and scientific agencies into oblivion.

Nice work, jack ass.

Though, it is kind of interesting that academic R-and-D is so small that NASA is a heavy weight. Further proof that America devalues it's strongest strength -- research and repositioning in favor of financial hullabaloo and cheap tricks.
