Obama Outlines Bold Space Policy ... But No Moon

The Bad Astronomer writes "In front of a mostly enthusiastic audience at NASA's Kennedy Space Center today, President Obama outlined a bold, new space policy. It's a change from his previous policy; the Constellation rockets are still dead, but a new heavy-lift rocket system is funded. He specifically talked of manned asteroid and Mars missions, but also stated there would be no return to the Moon. This is a major step in the right direction, but still needs some tweaking."

    I don't know, the GP was basically calling Obama a nigger. That's pretty trollish.

    Maybe you're looking for a "+1 yeah he's a fucktard but he did have one good point" mod?

    Look up his life history - he is living the American dream.

    Oh really?

    Without his White grandparents, where would Barack Obama be?

    Why are you guys so easily forget the contributions of Obama's White grandparents to his success?
