Default Obama to extend Shuttle program?



Does Obama oppose or even want to possibly extend the Space Shuttle
program thru 2014 in line with the belief that having no manned access
to space before the CEV is ready would be bad policy for a visionary
Kennedyesque leader?

If Obama wins, space policy may change and the shuttle may get a new
lease on life, and yes the president does have the authority to
totally change everything when he wants, that's the executive branch's
purview. Heck he could skip the return to the Moon and say hey we
need to go to Mars and invest everything on that. Stands to reason
politically it would provide more cover for a legacy of NEW
leadership.

Then again he may just cancel this manned space program nonsense ala
Nixon.
