The Trillions of dollars deficit was there before George W left office mate. I don't really get US politics, but thats a well documented fact

A deficit was there and then Obama tripled it. That is the fact. He also intends to triple it again this year and then keep it going for the next 20.

Sorry, but instead of killing the things he's been told are not what the people want to cut his deficit, he's just killing everything else, including all of the jobs he claimed he wanted to save.

When they first landed on the moon, they were fighting a war in a third-world country against insurgents with AK's....sound familiar?

Maybe Bill Gates will show interest and have the first m$ workstation on the moon.

Anybody up for creating a Luna mining corporation? We'd make billions selling Helium 3 back on earth...

)

Kind regards

I think it's a real shame, when you stifle grand goals you stifle innovation and the economy. Now it seems NASA is supposed to generate technologies without defining real goals. Throughout history this leads to white elephants projects, that spend a lot of money and achieve nothing. How many successful aircraft projects were developed without any idea of the actual requirements verses projects developed to meet a definite need. Bristol Brabazon verses Spitfire for example.
