space exploration brings us to many advances in Medicine and science and especially engineering to just say fuck it.....i would rather see money going into this than some fucking war in a third world shit hole or helping those countries that spit in our faces after we help them.....Private space exploration is the future. A nation $19 Trillion in Debt and a rapidly expanding Welfare/Warfare State, cannot afford space exploration. Taxpayers are already too stressed, and close to being maxed out.
Welfare/Warfare States don't come cheap. Many Government spending luxuries will have to go. That's the harsh reality. It's time for Americans to accept that.
Limit Entitlement spending and end Permanent War. Otherwise, spending luxuries like space exploration will have to go. And personally, i doubt anything's gonna change. This Welfare/Warfare will continue to expand. So space exploration will eventually be left to the Private Sector for the most part.
You know obviously in spite of what happened in France last week do you REALLY think ending "permanent war" is possible?
I just don't understand the ignorance and outright naïveté of to think ah let's JUST END Permanent WAR!
My goodness what grade level are you? Do you really think that the islamic terrorists will say "OK... Let's end it right now"!
Please leave that childish uninformed opinion in the playground OK???

Massive Entitlements and Permanent War costs us bigtime. How do people think we can continue paying for it? Obviously cuts will have to be made at some point. And space exploration will likely be one of those cuts.
You want your massive entitlements and permanent war? Well, it's gonna cost ya. You'll have to live with sacrificing something. You can't have it all. Taxpayers can only handle so much.

Hey, you nice little corksmoker, Elon Musk has bigger and better rockets than Russia. And they are private enterprise. And Elon has some pretty ambitious competitors. And it happened under the present President.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)
Actually, you made up all of that.
President Obama did not end manned space flights.
Turn off fox, limbaugh and brietbart.
Nope, he just hired Russia to act as chaffeur....which Russia now refuses to do.
You said: What was left after Barry Hussein's administration shut down the Space Shuttle concept? Should NASA become a bureaucratic funded wart on the backside of the American taxpayer or should the agency be trimmed until they have some freaking mission?What was left after Barry Hussein's administration shut down the Space Shuttle concept?

waste? budgets constraints?NASA also known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had it's maned space program ended by the current President which is why we now pay Russia to take people into space for us.

Closer to 60 billion, which is what Republicans gave the banks for working the Student Loan program.
2 trillion? Where do Republicans get their numbers? Remember when they were saying Keystone would make a million new jobs. Then we found out it was 35 permanent jobs. You heard right, 35.
Remember when Republicans said Obama was taking a trip to India costing $200,000,000.00 a day? I swear, the right wingers are brain damaged. What else could explain it? That much stupid takes lots of practice. It's actually eerie.
Sacrifices will have to be made people. NASA could very well be one of those sacrifices. Welfare/Warfare States don't come cheap. It's pretty clear Americans want their massive Entitlements and Permanent War. But they're already $19 Trillion in Debt. and their Welfare/Warfare State continues to expand.
How much can the Taxpayers afford? How much more burden can be placed on them? Obviously, cuts will have to be made at some point. Sacrifice is coming.
Actually, your Dear Leader has proven to be an even bigger foe of NASA. Just ask those who work there. He is truly despised.
Oh, another NaziCon suffering from Obama derangement syndrome.

The insane government spending WILL come to an end you can't max out credit cards forever. Then people will know true pain and suffering. The national debt has tripled in only the last 15 years. If nothing changes it will be $60 trillion when I retire in 15 years.

Yeah, Americans want their massive Entitlements and Permanent War. But most can't comprehend they're already $19 Trillion in Debt. and their Welfare/Warfare State is rapidly expanding. How can Taxpayers continue to support it?
Government spending on space exploration is likely a spending luxury America won't be able to afford at some point. It'll be a Private Sector endeavor eventually. Americans can't have it all. If they want their massive Entitlements and Permanent War, they're gonna have to face the fact cuts will have to be made elsewhere. It is what it is.
moron trolling alert!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.
