If only RWNJs stopped being obsessed about questions of debt and spending, we wouldn't be in this predicament. Unfortunately, we're a graying, old, tired nation, and old people are more about frugal spending than innovation. More concerned about Medicare and SS than NASA
Boomers to China; been there ;done that. The only way this generation will get there is to borrow scientist and math degrees from China.
Why should the fact that China is still 50 years behind us bother us any? I guess if ya drank Tang in the morning them moon missions might have helped ya out.
Funny thread. The usual partisan sniping, while China actually does something. I think they are doing a lot more than just space stuff better than us these days, because we are so obsessed with political battles. We don't do much as a nation these days, except argue, build more, better bombs, and tell others not to.

Why do you call him "dear leader". I hear that on conservative talk radio so I guess you mimic them.
because dear leader chairman maoabma is acting like an asian dictator wanna be. he does everything he can to bypass congress, he tries to impose his will on everything congress does rather than compromise. much like all the north korean dictators have done since the country was created after world war two.

Ummmm excuse me, but it was Barack Obama that has turned NASA into a "Muslim outreach" organization, instead of the organization that it has historically been. Obama has cut funding for space explorations. It has nothing to do with "RWNJ's" as you so lovingly call them.
Leftists are the real nut jobs in our society, not the right.
Or you could just stop with the right-wing and centrist obsession for war and fold most of the DoD over to NASA. DoD has all of the capability, and then some, of performing space activities. No increase in taxes or cutting social spending needed
What would you have us do to protect this nation from our enemies, if we don't spend money on defense? Or, don't you believe that there are people in the world who wish to destroy us? Islam, for example?
Without a strong military, they win. Say goodbye to your nice life.
