In Leaked Email, NASA Chief Vents On Shuttle Program's End

jerryasher writes "In a leaked memo, NASA Administrator Mike Griffin discusses 'the jihad' to prematurely terminate the Shuttle and what that means for the International Space Station. One implication: there may come a long interval when only our Russian Allies are aboard the Space Station. Add that bit of irony to your new cold war kit and then wonder why Griffin discusses why we wouldn't sabotage the Space Station, and how and why the memo got leaked in the first place."

    The first words spoken by the next President after being sworn in this January and looking at the real numbers: "What the fuck is this shit?"

    And sadly, only a Libertarian President would do the right thing about it, and that's not gonna happen.
