Obama Outlines Bold Space Policy ... But No Moon

Posted by timothy on from the all-things-to-all-people dept.

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?
