We desperately need a new frontier, to escape the angry destructive mob that is the democratic party and their brownshirt foot soldiers. They are a menace to society, and actively working to destroy civilization as we know it. We must rebuild somewhere where we can be safe from them. Maybe space is the answer...

Way to go making this a partisan issue.... SMH.

The same people that hate NASA's climate research are celebrating a space launch.
The private sector launched them, not NASA.

Docking 10:29 EST tomorrow. Central and Northern United States can probably view it chasing the space station in the night sky tonight.

Come on, be honest. You know the reason why. It has to do with the economics AND age of our only means of getting into space, the space shuttle. It was dangerous, antiquated and well past it's designed life. We had no choice if we wanted to continue to be part of the space community and reach, er what was it called again? Ah yes, I know, the INTERNATIONAL space station... But don't let facts get in the way of a partisan pissing contest.

Congress has cut the NASA budget across the board but particularly for earth studies. The space and research programs have continued in many areas. We wouldn't want to take away from that $700B DOD program so all those military contractors can make a living.

Trump did make it a point that we should be able to design, manufacture and build things like this in our own nation, using our own workers, hands, brains, machines, factories, rockets, etc. Depending on the rest of the world for all this is not a good long term strategy in my opinion, and Trump's.

I'm happy to see that we as a nation were able to launch two astronauts into space, using SpaceX rockets built in the USA. The launch also took place on USA soil. This wasn't possible under Obama's failed administration. As another poster pointed out, we were woefully dependent on Russia for that. I thought Russia = bad, according to the left?

So now we are woefully dependent on contractors for a space mission and that's a credit for Trump.
MAGA
