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."

    Dear me, I'm glad I'm not voting in your elections...

    What Constitutional issues? The ones you conjure up after a cursory glance and an internet rant don't count. Seriously. I don't mean to be combative. I'm all ears.

    Dude listen to what his pastor and his personal hero preached from the pulpit.

    If you don't think it was racist just what do you think it is?
