Ted Cruz, Longtime Foe Of NASA And Science, Will Oversee NASA And Science In New Congress

[Luddly Neddite]

Obama, the man who ended the US manned space program and ordered all satellite point to Mecca 5 times a day (Ok, I made the last part up, but he did end the manned space program)

Except he didn't. The Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle is a spacecraft intended to carry a crew of up to four astronauts to destinations at or beyond low Earth orbit. Wikipedia

Guess where the Orion program office is located.

Houston, TX.

Guess what state Ted Cruz represents.

Guess what the source of funding is ...

Guess whose face that is on the right, peeking into the Orion spacecraft with program manager Mark Geyer.

Space = Texas jobs (applause).

Why do NaziCons continue to peddle their Obama anti-science lies?

Krauthammer Falsely Claims Obama Killed NASA's Manned Space Program?

Yet another far left blog site funded by Soros being used as "fact"..

It provides source backup for the mentally challenged.

Yet another post that proves that the far left is not connected to reality..

Actually, your Dear Leader has proven to be an even bigger foe of NASA. Just ask those who work there. He is truly despised.

You said: Actually, your Dear Leader has proven to be an even bigger foe of NASA. Just ask those who work there. He is truly despised.

Weird the way you guys always imagine these scenarios. Remember when Republicans said Obama destroyed our space program? Now we have privately owned spaceships.

SpaceX 8217 s Dragon spacecraft successfully docks with space station - National Globalnews.ca

This is the fifth crew resupply mission by SpaceX. Along with food and supplies, there are several scientific experiments.

When normal people are wrong all the time, they get embarrassed. Fortunately for the GOP, they are abnormal.

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone at NASA who respects or admires this current President. That's the reality.

Oh, another NaziCon suffering from Obama derangement syndrome.

you and Kosh should get a room together.....everyone who disagrees with you is a "Nazicon" and everyone who disagrees with him is a "Far Left Drone"....but yet neither one of you can prove what you say about the people you label....but yet i can prove this about both of you.....you are both Dicks......

Wrong! Once again! Many you believed to be moderates have shown to be far left drones, yet you can not admit to that. That seems to be your problem not mine. Even after they have admitted they think Obama is a "Centrist"..

Is that because they are all white guys from Texas?

Low Earth orbit ....and not to the Moon and beyond.

There is a lot of bullshit flying in this topic.

Pointing to the government shutdown as evidence Cruz hates the space program is disingenuous. EVERY government function was shut down during that period.

Obama ending the manned space program is also bullshit.


But look here. Ted Cruz is from Texas. Texas and the space program are intertwined. I seriously doubt Cruz is going to fuck over Texas's space programs.

Yes talk about promoting false hoods from a far left drone..

The government does not ever shut down so calling it a government shut down is disingenuous, even NASA still gets funded during a "government shutdown".

However any rockets that are launched are usually done so in Florida more so than Texas..

And the far left drone plays the race card without hesitation or question..

Following the ratification of Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) as chair of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committtee last week, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was named chair of the Subcommittee on Space, Science and Competitiveness, where he will oversee NASA and science programs.

Appointed Jan. 8, Cruz is expected to be confirmed to the new role by the end of the month as one of many changes to the new Republican-controlled Congress. But the Republican senator's words and actions during his time in office have painted him to be a far cry from an advocate for the sciences, leaving many concerned about the future of space and science funding.

Cruz's infamous hours-long speech in September 2013, led to a 16-day government shutdown barring 97 percent of NASA employees from appearing for work. Interns to the agency were temporarily displaced when the NASA-provided housing was closed during the shutdown, and many have said the agency suffered lasting damage due to the freeze.

And NASA wasn't the only agency hit by the shutdown: research programsrun by the National Institute of Healthsuffered a blow when new clinical trials were suspended, affecting 200 new patients each week of the shutdown. Environmental Protection Agency programs were also compromised, with 90 percent of employees on furlough.

The agency has conducted research on climate change, recently kicking off five projects to study how the earth's atmosphere affects global warming.

Cruz has claimed there isn't enough evidence to prove global warming is occurring,telling CNN he was skeptical of the "so-called scientific theory."

This is bad news NASA and other scientists - including Americans who support those programs.

Ted Cruz.......sort of like appointing David Duke as adviser for race relations.

Obama makes the white guys at the Houston command center all bow toward Mecca five times a day. And the cafeteria food has to be halal.

And they sure as shit don't get Christmas off. But the free spending rat bastard did allow them to take the day after Thanksgiving off. With pay. The sneaky shit used a memo to avoid using an EO.

No wonder the price of stamps keeps going up!

That makes no sense, one of us is confused. If we can get to the moon or mars we certainly can get to low-earth orbit.

MISSION CONTROL CENTER: The heat shield on the space shuttle is getting too warm.

KOSH: Says the far left drone.

SEN. CRUZ: I have in my pocket a list of card carrying child molesters who want us all to believe the heat shield on the space shuttle is getting too warm. But I have a scientist from the Noah's Ark Encounter theme park who says it is just the sun reflecting off a rainbow.

And with each and every post you prove what a far left hack you truly are..
