The masternumbnuts ignores reality.

Say Good By To NASA If Romney And GOP Get Power

I am sure that Romney and the GOP would find a way to sell NASA and our space program to the Chinese if given power. The Ryan budget is about exploding the deficit at the expense of the country as a whole. Meanwhile the rich will end up paying no taxes. Any voter with any sense of of what is going on would never vote GOP.

Um, which president has cut funding and undermined NASA's space exploration?  Who cut out the program for the next orbiter?  Who is using NASA to back up globull warming?  Who has forced NASA to rely on the Russians to provide travel to the ISS?

2. Maybe.

But W didn't kill NASA. What is more likely is that NASA will get contractor'ed to pieces. Everything will get put out to bid, or for no-bid contracts. I suspect several defense contractors would not want to see their cash streams from NASA go away.

In essence, things will cost more and we will see more failures due to contractor incompetence and cost cutting.

Frelling moron.  Most of what NASA does is done by contracts to the evil MIC.

Damn that's stupid beyond repair. You would think they wake up everyday and think  the previous history of the entire universe never happened. NASA is a Government agency that has made its living on contracts to the Defense industry and alot of that has come back to the taxpayer in the form of dividends to the public like portable oxygen tanks for for firefighters and velcro for everyones use.

Pretty much everything one comes in contact with nowadays is derived from directly or indirectly from technologies developed for and from the space program.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

I remember some about about NASA spending tons of money to develop an ink pen that would work in space.  The Russians just used a pencil. :)

Hi5 for cracking my wife & I up.  Perfect description of our government. 

We have a friend who worked as an engineer for NASA through the entire program.  His job was, as he described it, "input output technology".  He designed systems for food & water storage/handling and waste disposal.  You may have seen the picture from the first Shuttle flight of the 8" yellow icicle jutting out the side of the shuttle.  He has had to live with that image as the reflection of his life's work & I plan to display that picture at his funeral.  NASA solved the problem by ordering the astronauts not to photograph the icicle on future missions.

While it may seem a good idea ,you have to sharpen a pencil to keep it working and NASA has this thing about stuff floating around the inside of thier maned spacecraft and it getting jammed in something and causing something to fail. A bit of paranoia on their part but it was the early days of spaceflight and history shows that when it comes to flying in space anything can go wrong. Just look up Gus Grissom and what happened to him. They didn't find out untill many years later when someone retrived his capsule tha the really did tell the truth that the hatch failed.

That story about the space pen isn't true. It was developed privately, then NASA purchased it. Later, the Soviets did too. As Airwolf said, NASA was concerned about the potential hazards of broken pencil tips, dust, etc. It's not as if it never occurred to them to use a pencil.
