Chris Kraft Talks About The Decline of NASA
schwit1 writes in with a link to a recent interview with Chris Kraft, founder of Mission Control, discussing the impracticality of the SLS, and why the best and brightest are slowing leaving NASA. From the article: "The problem with the SLS is that it's so big that makes it very expensive. It's very expensive to design, it's very expensive to develop. When they actually begin to develop it, the budget is going to go haywire. They're going to have all kinds of technical and development issues crop up, which will drive the development costs up. Then there are the operating costs of that beast, which will eat NASA alive if they get there. ... You go talk to the guys who were doing Constellation (NASA's now-scuttled plan to return to the moon), and the reason they came to NASA was to go back to the moon. They're all leaving now. The leaders are leaving for a lot of other reasons also, but they're leaving because there's no future that they want to be involved in. And that's unfortunate."
Well actually the muslim brown people are NASA's big new charter, or didn't you hear? Obama scaled back our goals, deciding we don't need to go back to the moon and that what NASA should really do is make Muslims feel good about Islam's contribution to science and technology.Going to the moon is just colonialist hubris, America needs to be downsized and subsidize the rest of the world to pay for the colonialist era. Watch Obama's 2016 to see why Obama is working so hard to destroy the US and the west.
