Criticism mounts against Obama’s plans to change NASA strategy

Washington Post, by Joel Achenbach

[...]
Schmitt’s harsh words are part of a furious blowback to the administration’s new strategy for NASA. The administration has decided to kill NASA’s Constellation program, crafted during the Bush administration with an ambitious goal of putting astronauts back on the moon by 2020. Instead, Obama’s 2011 budget request would nix Constellation’s rocket and crew capsule, funnel billions to new space flight technologies, and outsource to commercial firms the task of ferrying astronauts to low-earth orbit.

The new strategy, however, has been met with howls of outrage from many in the aerospace community. The entire congressional delegation from Florida, Democrats and Republicans alike, has sent a letter of protest to the president. Doubters fill op-ed pages and space blogs.

  • 1. · I love the idea of space. I believe it is our nature as humans to explore.

    However, there we face very stark fiscal realities.

    A trip to the moon is just not something that we can afford. We need to get our people employed....get them fed and insured. We have to deal with the problems of Medicare and Social Security. We have to protect our borders and our citizens.

    Those problems outweigh the desire to go back to the moon.

    Its that same old pesky problem of understanding the difference between needs and wants.
