Obama Would Redirect NASA Funding to Education

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the perhaps-earlier-schooling-isn't-the-answer-either dept.

QuantumG writes "In a recent article on The Space Review, Greg Zsidisin reveals that Barack Obama plans to delay Project Constellation for at least five years, using the redirected funds to nationalize early-education for children under five years old to prepare them for the rigors of kindergarten and beyond, if he is elected president. It is feared that if this happens the Vision for Space Exploration will flounder and that may be the end of human spaceflight altogether."

    Funny how left wing rants on the right involve so much hate and mud slinging when the right relies to much on logic, facts and proofs to discredit the left.
