... and why so little discussion about the "O" administrations' severance of our space exploration budget and all of the related job losses sure to follow ?
Do any of you lefties realize how difficult it will be for this nation to resurrect this program once it is suspended ? Do any of you lefties have even the most
rudimentary understanding of the technologies that are developed as a result of our once world class space program ?
Ya don't really care one iota about our space programe do ya ? Well, you care in the sense that you want this nation reduced to 2nd or turd world class status, I get it.

Yeah! Damn lefties! Like that damn pinko, Buzz Aldrin! Who does he think he is, some kinda astronaut or something?!

Obama Gets Space Funding Right
By STEVEN WEINBERG

We could send hundreds of robots to Mars for the cost of one manned mission.

In the federal budget released this week, President Barack Obama calls for increasing NASA's funding by 2% while cutting its manned space flight program. If enacted by Congress, the cuts will likely end plans to return astronauts to the moon. Some claim these cuts will damage America's capabilities in science and technology, but the president's spending plan will likely boost both.

The manned space flight program masquerades as science, but it actually crowds out real science at NASA, which is all done on unmanned missions. In 2004 President George W. Bush announced a new vision for the space agency: a return of astronauts to the moon followed by a manned expedition to Mars. A few days later NASA's office of Space Science announced major cutbacks in its important Beyond Einstein and Explorer programs of unmanned research in astronomy. The explanation was that they "do not clearly support the goals of the President's vision for space exploration."

Giving up on manned space flight doesn't mean we have to give up on the exploration of the solar system. The president's budget calls for spending $19 billion on NASA, and for much less than the cost of sending a few astronauts once to a single location on Mars we could send hundreds of robots like Spirit and Opportunity to sites all over the planet.

The only technology for which the manned space flight program is well suited is the technology of keeping people alive in space. And the only demand for that technology is in the manned space flight program itself.


Mr. Weinberg received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979 and the National Medal of Science in 1991. He teaches in the physics and astronomy departments of the University of Texas at Austin and is the author of "Lake Views—This World and the Universe," just out from Harvard University Press.

So we could send hundreds of robotic missions into space for the cost of one of these dog & pony shows. This is America, dammit! We love dog & pony shows! Our **** can't do math and science as well as some Indian *** living in a slum. It's not for the science that we need to go back to the moon, it's for the show! And we all know, the show must go on. :sing:


Sorry, but what's going to make this a turd world nation (that's funny.... I like that) is the FACT that our **** are the morons of the developed world when it comes to math and science. You can waste as much money as you want playing Buck Rogers. If you want advanced robotics, you go to the Japanese. If you want an engineer, you get an Indian, Japanese or Chinese ***. But if we can get a man back on the moon (40 years after doing it the first time), that'll make it all better.

Maybe President Palin will spend ALL of NASA's budget on sending a spaceyship to Uranus... cause I know I'd like to send a spaceyship into Heranus. If we don't get us a spaceystation on the moon, America will be just like Rhodesia. Just you guys wait & see! :helpme:

not defending anybody but ive read the posts here.
exactly what is the fucking problem?
grow some balls please, not everybody is gonna love obama, me included.
and if your only response to that is because he's half black thats just pathetic.

by the way it was brought up about rahm using the word retarded.
i will defend the word if it is used as its literal meaning which is something that is not normal or has defects.
but we all know he used the word in the people with disabilities sense.
the mans a scumbag, period, he's as much of an arrogant jew as one can be.
i say that in the same sense as your boy described his grandma as a typical white person
(meaning a racist).
no problem with that right white folks?

I can't wait to see Mad Magazine, Saturday Night Live or some comedian spoof this ":1orglaugh'

We think Sarah P. might be kinda dumb, but not all the votes have been counted yet. So far... it ain't lookin' good for her though.

 

[meesterperfect]

i dont think she's presidential material either
what exactly was written on her hand anyway?
i consider her close to the same level as obama, but then again
she did manage a state, he just spent most of his time as a senator campaigning and voting on extreme left abortion laws.
but he was a community organizer (which means he got alot of people (of one race) alot of freebies).
oh but he is more articulate and fashionable

so the actual problem here is that sarah is dumb?
dumber than biden?

FYI Obama is managing more than 1 state as Palin failed to do until she quit

Ya know, I'm not sure what the problem is. It could be that Sarah writes on her hands like I did when I was 7. It could be that the U.S. can't survive unless some American goes back to the moon and plants a flag. It could be that there are multiple tea party groups and they might have to fight a war to decide who gets to use the name. So many possibilities... so little time.

Is Sarah dumb? Hell no! Anybody who can convince a bunch of hayseeds to give them $100,000 to stand up and read words off her hand... she ain't the dumb one! :nanner:

 

[StanScratch]

I think the other problem with her and her ilk is that the grapes have soured so much, they freely talk of revolution with absolutely no clue as to what they will do should they win it. It's kind of like watching a bunch of monkeys fight like hell over a red ball, and once one gets it, looks at it like he has no idea what to do with it, then sticks it up his ass.

I do seriously doubt she would get the Republican nod for the next Presidential bid - she has rightfully been given the "quitter" tattoo. However, I do see her trying to create a third party and running on that once, which in reality would probably help the Republican party about as much as the Green party helped Gore.

Here's another vote for DUMB :glugglug:

And what does a pick like that for a major speaker on such a convention say about the people meeting there and wasting time on such a stupid persons drool?

They are either grabbing for straws to get SOMEBODY with a bigger name to patch in the newspapers and the ads for getting people pver, or they are stupid, too to think that her speak would in any way enlighten them.

I pity the fools :dunno:

well said:glugglug:
These people are useful as political zombies for the GOP, taking in their daily dose of FOX news and then marching out to the streets and regurgitating nonsense about the 'socialist' government coming to take their guns and enslave them. What is their message?

Anybody watch the tea party convention last night.Their keynote speaker was Sarah Palin.:eek::1orglaugh

The most striking thing about such gatherings is how racially non diverse they are as well as being mostly middle aged or older.Its almost exclusively an older all white movement.Just another manifestation of the white backlash to the changes that have occurred in america.They would obviously like a return to a much more white supremcist america ,although of course america is still a country with a lot of discrimination against non whites and preference given to the white majority ,they want it to be much more so like the good ole days they fondly remember.Let the republicans and Sarah pander to them,they will alienate many whites and all minorities and that is not a recipe to win elections in the america of 2010.

Wow, u know those hardcore conservatives who think everything is evil? Well your the exact opposite. And just as crazy. And Im not even white.

Go....Sarah....Go! :lovecoupl

No. Sarah is dumb and stupid IMO. Lockjaw Biden isn't any better but at least he understands government.

Qualifications for POTUS beyond the minimums are not contained in jobs you've had. More, the jobs you've done in those jobs, the principles you support and your ability to convince people in unscripted interviewing your positions make sense.

Simply being a governor isn't a qualification for POTUS because a governor is not a president.

Yeah your right I'm crazy,I only think I see an all white aging group of people.Have you seen who is at these events?Personally I doubt it.
