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."

    It's a shame he's thinking of stripping NASA for money instead of just ending the war of aggression in Iraq.

  3. Obama: anti-marijuana? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Would he legalize cannabis and end the unjust laws against growing it for whatever reasons we wish?

    Would he allow us to once again grow hemp?

    The marijuana laws are against humanity and must be dropped.

    Yea, I was drunk when I wrote that. But with the almost part, I guess I don't need to clearify anything.
