Sadly I agree. Obama scrapped the present programs. But he started a new one, developing a new generation of rockets from scrap, stating he is going to see the mars landing. So there would be hope for me too as I plan to be around in thirty years time when I will be 90. But will I be alert enough to care?

Obama scrapped the present programs as he realized they were absolute cash cows for Bush cronies who where reaping in millions of dollars every year with lucrative NASA contracts.
