Despite the abandonment of the plan to return to the Moon and go to Mars... which, although regrettable, was not totally unexpected all along... this is not impossible. Unmanned space exploration returns a great deal of scientific knowledge at a fraction of the cost. Ultimately, we still need to send people into space to complete the task, but there is simply no compelling reason to go to Mars now like the one we had to go to the Moon. And, of course, there has to be some way to get American astronauts to the ISS. John Savard |

There is a detailed briefing to be held at the AAAS tomorrow (Tuesday), at 10pm US Eastern time (1500 UTC); we'll carry that event live as well.

We have the links to the statements on our website: http://astronomy.fm/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=581 I expect that on AFM*Radio tonight (starting at 9pm Eastern / 0200 UTC) we shall begin the ****ing, moaning, and general gnashing of teeth, as we discuss "NASA, whatzup?" Thanks for listening! ~Michael |

Firstly, O'bama will very likely not be in office more than one term - Secondly, there are strong military-national defense needs the Obama plan does not take into consideration. The Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs and related Congressional Committees, have yet to weigh in on this - Thirdly, I dont know why NASA is weighing in so early as if this is a done-deal. It is NOT a done-deal for all of the reasons cited above. NASA is not the DOD or Congress! NASA should stop pimping ..... before the clients have even arrived!? John Savard |

Firstly, O'bama will very likely not be in office more than one term - I suppose that's possible, if the Republicans decide they'll filibuster all legislation the country needs until they're given power back again. I wish they could put the Republicans in charge of foreign affairs and the Democrats in charge of the economy, but unfortunately, there is no such option on the ballot. If it isn't possible to find Republicans who don't serve the wealthy, or Democrats who value the nation's security, it's time for Americans to look for a Populist party to vote for. John Savard |

Today's briefing referenced several written statements. According to Buzz Aldrin, Obama's direction lays a more solid foundation for actually getting people to Mars eventually than that of G. W. Bush. That might even be true, but I'm not sure if the reasons are ones anyone would like. One obvious possibility is that the Democrats will be in power for a while, so the program won't fly unless they can say it's their idea. The other is that since Bush never really tried to fund his plan, "slow and steady wins the race" is applicable here. Or even: the Apollo program followed Sputnik, so don't expect a serious U.S. attempt to send men to Mars until _after_ Chinese "taikonauts" walk on the Moon. Then there's first we have to overcome the opposition to nuclear power before we can get the American economy (and maybe even Western civilization) positioned to survive long enough to support a Mars mission.

He's doing what Clinton did, selling the U.S. out to China. It made Clinton a very rich man. |
