Does Obama Have a Problem At NASA?
MarkWhittington writes "Has NASA become a problem for the Obama transition? If one believes a recent story in the Orlando Sentinel, the transition team at NASA, led by former NASA Associate Administrator Lori Garver, is running into some bureaucratic obstruction." Specifically, according to this article NASA Administrator Michael Griffin made calls to aerospace industry executives asking them to stonewall if asked about benefits to be gained by canceling the current US efforts to revisit the moon; we mentioned last month that cutting Aries and Orion is apparently an idea under strong consideration by the Obama transition team.
If we can put a black man with a funny name in the White House then surely we can put a man on the moon again!
Well, thanks to the Internet, I'm now bored with sex.
Did I miss a piece of history somewhere along the way where the Soviet Union was "beaten", rather than fizzled out?
Remember when Jimmy Carter grabbed his ankles and told every tin pot despot and the USSR to please be gentle? That was the "intellectual" solution to communism. By comparison Ronald Reagan beat the Soviet Union like it owed him money.
Forget Griffin. The real decision Obama is going to have to make with NASA is whether or not to tell people the big secret: that the chimps they sent into space came back super-intelligent.

You're doing a heck of a job, Griffie!
He can't do that. Peter Griffin has rockets that could be converted into makeshift missiles and used to bombard Washington.
Then Griffin would declare the US disbanded, replaced by a Galactic Empire with Griffin as Emperor.
I say give him the cash to keep him quiet. Better that than we all end up slaving in the Uranium mines on Pluto.

No worries, mate. If Griffin launched the attack they would have to cut the number of missiles back because they went over budget, the missiles would arrive so late that the cities would have plenty of time to evacuate, and the vast majority of them would either completely miss their target or malfunction before they even left the pad.

Did you never beat the enemy in C&C by forcing it into selling its own buildings? A win is a win.
They do? Would you like to tell us where, and why you think that?
I really hope you aren't referring to Belgium, which seems to either have no government or about three depending on which day of the week it is.

While we're at it, it's Ares, not Aries.
