I couldn't read the whole thread without my head caving in. I do have an opinion though. This country is fulfilling its basic needs right now. Until those needs are met we can't reach out and do more. I'm a proponent of the arts as well as the space program, but those areas shouldn't be funded while people are losing jobs and the economy is tanking.
I'm saying that the US is in the Safety stage and we can't expect to fund space exploration or the arts until the Self Actualization stage. To get there we have to meet all the needs in between. Thats my theory and I'm sticking to it!

My brother-in-law has worked for NASA, on the shuttle, for the past decade. He sent me this video. He was planning on getting a job with the Constellation program after the shuttle program ended.

Ok then, do us a favor. On top of finding the money that he is proposing to save by cutting the program, find the money that is needed to complete the program in the first place. If you read the links from my earlier post, you'll realize that Constellation was severely short funded already to the point that the program was unsustainable.

Why not do what they Chinese did....wait until they finance all the tech and then steal it from them?

A good article from The Economist on the mission's cancellation.... It seems to shed a little more light on the specific cost categories on the program and doesn't spew so much flatulence as Rubicon or Highangle.

By Alexis Madrigal March 4, 2010 | 2:10 pm | Categories: Space
The turmoil and political maneuvering over the future of NASA continues in the wake of the Obama administration’s cancellation of the Constellation program.
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson, a Texas Republican, proposed adding $3.4 billion to the agency’s budget between 2010 and 2012 to extend operation of the Shuttle until NASA is confident that a replacement vehicle is available.
When NASA scoped out a similar Shuttle extension plan [pdf] in April 2009, they determined that a Shuttle extension through fiscal year 2012 would require at least $4.6 billion.
The new bill, S. 3068, which was read in the Senate Wednesday, has not been added to the publicly available database of legislation (THOMAS).
Its introduction comes as NASA itself gropes around for a politically viable path. While the Constellation program was widely seen as unable to meet the goals laid out for it by President Bush in the Vision for Space Exploration, it had been providing the direction for the agency since 2004.
An internal NASA email obtained by Space.com laid out Administrator Charles Bolden’s call for a compromise “Plan B” that could garner support in Congress.
The proposed set of new ideas would include the “development of a manned spacecraft, heavy-lift launch vehicle and launch vehicle test program.”
It’s not clear if such moves will satisfy pro-Constellation Congressional leaders, who have reacted negatively to the Obama plan, which would place low-earth orbit human spaceflight in the hands of commercial space companies

That would make for an interesting social study actually. Why is it that you can run around the US around calling everyone a dick (cock/dong/...) and it's considered a gentle ribbing but the second you use the female equivalent people set themselves on fire and poke their children's eardrums out? The Brits use it routinely and I've never observed any rending of garments as a result... Twat doesn't seem to elicit the same reaction so it's not purely gender-based. Maybe it sounds better since it's a more dated term?
I'm going with puritanism coated with a healthy layer of hypocrisy.
