CampeadorNASA's mission is space exploration, end of story.

However, Obama's version of NASA researches "climate change" and needs to "reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering". All while pulling funding for the Constellation Program and reallocating more to the dependency programs that bankroll his constituents.


Perhaps that $300 million could be allocated to, you know, actually exploring space? Or how about just having the ability to send astronauts into space again? Something that we could do 54 years ago but cannot today.

KreechOk, but space exploration isn't what the human race needs right now. Not utterly and permanently ravaging our planet so badly that we can never recover is what the human race needs right now. And if that means space exploration takes a temporary hit, that's ok because what are we going to do with all that knowledge of space of we're all dead?

louie.miragsThe climate has always been changing. As little as 10,000 years ago half of North America was under a mile of ice.

VinnieFneed that Joker gif that says "and here we go"


but yes, climate has always changed. it's the rate of change that's worrisome.

Logey.Soooo before we get to deep, what do they plan on spending the 300 million dollars on?

DockEllisThe article doesn't say, but I assume they're trying to get a handle on the 439 billion dollar budget deficit the federal government ran in the first half of the fiscal year 2015.

OP, I agree with you that studying science and climate change is important, but I think we can all agree that our government's spending habits are fucked and not sustainable at the current pace. Where do you think the cuts should come from? Nobody likes cutting spending but unfortunately it's going to have to happen at some point.

skiforce1There was a time in America before there was laws protecting the environment. when companies could just dump waste in to bodies of water, they could vent harmful chemicals right in the air with out being flitered. It was cheaper for the companies to run like this, and most republicans in office are old enough to recall those days. They want them back because it is a higher profit for the companies they could give a shit about taking care of the environment because they are rich enough to move to places where that doesn't reach them.

LonelyThis is very true. The early 1900s are pretty accurate to this. We need a media revival with people like Upton Sinclair who work to exposed or just show the realities of our government and the failure of the party system. I mean c'mon America, the two things George Washington said in his farewell address was that we should NOT have a party system and should not have entangling foreign alliances. That sure turned out well...but we are Begining to return to what Hoover and Coolidge work towards, "the business of America is bussiness". Companies and special interest groups have more influence in government than you'd think. Look at presidential "fundraising".

Our government is fucked up.

louie.miragsspecial interest groups and lobbyist have all the influence. It is all about money. Politicians fight for corporations, not the people.

Steezy_IN_KCI'm sure no one wants to fuck up the world, republican or democrat. If Gerbils can grasp the concept that you don't shit where you eat and sleep. I'm pretty sure that our politicians understand that concept as well.

Steezy_IN_KCExplain "places" where does one go if the whole world is fucked? Are they rich enough to live on the moon?

KreechThe whole 2 party system in general is completely fucked. The Republican leaders in congress are retarded. The Democrats aren't much better, but at least they're not trying to cut 300 million dollars from the environmental studies program at NASA. Keeping scientists from being able to try and figure out how to unfuck the Earth isn't going to fix climate change and if we keep raping the Earth at the rate we are now, everyone is going to die.

To the corrupt, out of touch, ignorant old men we deemed fit to elect into office: please pull your heads out of your asses and realize that we don't have a back-up planet.

/end rant.

OP_has_AidsWhat would the solution be to having just two parties? People can never agree on anything.

UglyboyThe two party system is dumb as fuck. Having your campaign backed by corporations should be illegal but politicians are so corrupt. The last time a republican was elected without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket was 1928. So fucked up. Now people will either vote for Hilary or Jed just because they know their name. The political system needs to a serious revamp. Make private backing illegal, get rid of the two party system and introduce a term limit on family names.

-benedettoThe patriot act is ending shortly. Be on the look out for a new terrorism threat. You heard here first, folks.

DingoSeanI don't feel threatened.

DingoSeanI like how Western culture likes to scoff at Islam for having been such a progressive scientific society that purged itself... all while that's exactly what many people in our society want to do with ours.

They want to kill stem cell research, deny climate change and defund any programs to research it further, and they want to stop going to space because "we've been there" or something.


...all in the name of religion and money.

As many societies have come and gone before, we're next if we don't do the right thing.

I'm curious to how effective that abomination of a law was to actually protecting us.

LonelyThe fact that you are not threatened leads me to believe that you may actually be a terrorist

ScaredwhiteboyThe federal budget runs a massive deficit. We don't have $300 million to spend on dubiously useful research.

cabdriveryou are some kind of stupid cunt if you think there aren't people being sent into space
