President Obama’s MOON WAR Begins

* The Washington Post brings us the following report this afternoon and it starts off like this... The battle over space has begun. And it's likely to be brutal... The Obama administration is attempting to kill NASA's ambitious back-to-the moon program, an effort that carried the imprimatur of George W. Bush. The Constellation program had already run through about $9 billion to develop a new crew capsule, Orion, and a new rocket, the Ares 1. Both are vaporized by Obama's new NASA strategy... Instead of going back to the moon, the administration wants to invest $6 billion over five years in a commercial taxi to orbit. The idea is to let the private sector take over the routine flights into space... But change does not come easily or quickly in the complex, costly and highly political enterprise that is space travel. Key lawmakers are furious at the prospect of losing jobs and NASA dollars. Also in an uproar are companies that will see billions in expected contracts fail to materialize...

..................
I was going to show this real COOL NASA Constellation Program, Back to the Moon and Back, video but NASA has already taken it down off their YouTube website. Didn’t take them long to BAIL...

My take:
.
When I first heard the bad news that the Moon missions were fixing to be scrubbed... it just made me SICK!
.
My friends... It’s time to start raising all kinds of cane over this...
.
This is a very... VERY bad thing for future Space Exploration and the Space War that’s going on right now that everyone seems to overlook.
.
The private sector will not be able to do all the things we would wish them to do in space and we cannot afford to get behind any country.
.
Our future security and defense depends on always being on the cutting edge of space travel. ALWAYS!
.
Hitching rides into space with Russia, China and India doesn’t seem to be all that good of an idea to me either. And that seems to be where President Obama is heading us...
.
I don't know about you but I for one cannot WAIT to get that man out of office.
He’s KILLING US!!!
