NASA Ends Plan To Put Man Back On Moon

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from The Times Online: "NASA has begun to wind down construction of the rockets and spacecraft that were to have taken astronauts back to the Moon — effectively dismantling the US human spaceflight programme despite a congressional ban on its doing so. Legislators have accused President Obama's administration of contriving to slip the termination of the Constellation programme through the back door to avoid a battle on Capitol Hill."

    Interesting, not only do you explain the problems with government in terms of NASA, but you've also outlined why government run healthcare will never save us money; why the majority of people hate it and the majority of politicians love it.
