Man Can't Shoot for the Moon, can't shoot for anywhere

And NASA is basically useless, right? After $100 billion is spent on the International Space Station, NASA intends to deorbit and destroy the engineering marvel only five years after its construction is completed.

And to stick a hot poker up the collective hindquarters of NASA, President Obama’s nwe budget slashes the $100 billion “To The Moon” plans that the Space Agency had. Here’s the problem with this kind of pussy-ass action on behalf of not just the US Government, mankind has been strip-mining and raping the planet of its natural resources with reckless abandon since the Industrial Revolution started, and its on a break-neck pace currently.

Space exploration is the key to our continued survival. If we had dedicated the last 20 years to space exploration and looking to establish a permanent base on the moon — the need to power that station with solar cells and other similar types of energy collection technology would have increased our solar cell technology level by mabye 10 fold, and perhaps even the wind turbine (imagine starting a wind turbine in space and having go for days off of a single stroke of the blade?)

The Space Shuttle Program is being decommissioned this year, and there’s nothing on the near horizon to replace man’s desperate need to continue exploring space. All the unmanned drones that we’ve sent to Mars and other places in the Solar System is just fucking aroud. I would say that Obama’s decision to gut the NASA To The Moon plans will render the Space Agency irrelevant in a time when the need for a new technology would be a boon for the country, nay, the planet. In the next 5 to 15 years, when the NEXT economic downturn has hit and a new factor of production is required to pull the nation’s economy from the brink of disaster.

The one thing about NASA is that since the US Government can’t fund it, they should spin it off and make it private or they need to take all this money that they’re giving to the bitches in Detriot and the sodomizers on Wall Street and the sociopaths in the Pentagon, and pump that money into the space program. If the US wants to regain its prominence, then it needs to create new tech and as I stated early the best new tech in the last 30 years originated as programs at NASA (or other related space-age operations/companies).
