Did you see the NASA news today

Threads not going the way the OP thought it would.

But the thread is true. Left winger still are making excuses for the worst president ever. Obama was too damn dumb to understand space flight..
 
China has a headstart. Their probe is going to hang a noose from something before ours gets there just for the LOL's of seeing the dems blame Trump for it.
 
But the thread is true.

Yes, the things me and beefheart have said are true.

Left winger still are making excuses for the worst president ever.

Nobody mentioned Trump here. Try to keep up.

Obama was too damn dumb to understand space flight..

The corn in his **** is smarter than you and trump together.
 
But the thread is true. Left winger still are making excuses for the worst president ever. Obama was too damn dumb to understand space flight..

We have manned spaceflight now because of the Obama administration's leadership.
 
Did you read the part about the fact that under Obama we couldnt even put a man in low earth orbit. We had to pay the Russians MILLIONS to get our people to the ISS!!!!!

The first of the space shuttles were retired after the launch on July 08, 2011. Obama was elected in the fall of 2008 and took office the next January.

NASA's budget was cut as a way to pay for Bush crashing the economy in 2007-08.
 
Your argument is as you say dumb assed. Do you know we had to pay the Russians millions to put our people on the ISS and bring them back?

Maybe you should do a little research yourself.

What does that have to do with Curiosity and InSight? Nothing you say? That's right....nothing.

A little research will help you out here.
 
But the thread is true. Left winger still are making excuses for the worst president ever. Obama was too damn dumb to understand space flight..

Not true, been disproved, over and over.

Bush cancelled manned spaceflight.
 
So here we are in a health and economic crisis...and that's what The Donald is focusing on? :doh

We could be using that $$ for virus research.

And I love the space program too.

they are already doing virus research and at least 3 companies are in phase 3 testing with good results so far.
This money was spent on the space budget because it was in the space budget.

however you once again prove leftist have no clue what they are talking about.

bush didn't crash the economy again you prove you have no clue what you are talking about.

Bush initiated the Space Shuttle's cancellation back in 2004 as part of his Vision for Space Exploration, where its main purpose in the coming years was to “help finish assembly of the International Space Station.” He announced that the Space Shuttle will retire from service in 2010, after three decades of duty.

Here’s Why NASA’s Space Shuttle Program Came To An End | Tech Times
 
The 2020 Mars Rover was announced in 2015. I don't think Trump was in office in 2015. Also announced at the same time was a 2030 Manned Mars Mission. The End.
 

No post had nothing to do with that.

Yes bush was transferring the space program from the shuttle to the constellation class ships.
Bush wanted to stop the low level orbit stuff and transfer NASA to the moon and beyond.

The Shuttle also had served way beyond it's life expectancy and the parts were hard to find.
I had not problem with this transfer.

Obama came in and canceled the whole thing. I know exactly what happened.
Put this this way obama was not popular around here and cost us a ton of jobs because of what he did.

Obama cancelled Ares I because it was a boondoggle, just like the SLS it going to be.

You really are digging an ignorant hole here.

Obama graduated from Harvard law school and Trump can barely read Dr Seuss books. haha

yes you are and for your information the ARes project is alive and well and progressing very nicely.
I have 2 neighbors that are working on that project and they have already conducted some fire tests.

Yes you are digging yourself an ignorant hole.

Obama has proven to know very little about the law or the constitution.
He has proven that time and time again.

Cancellation

On February 1, 2010, President Barack Obama announced a proposal to cancel the Constellation program effective with the U.S. 2011 fiscal year budget,[55] but later announced changes to the proposal in a major space policy speech at Kennedy Space Center on April 15, 2010. In October 2010, the NASA authorization bill for 2010 was signed into law which canceled Constellation.[56] But previous legislation kept Constellation contracts in force until passage of a new funding bill for 2011.[57][58]

Ares I - Wikipedia

Did I not say Ares I?

Now you are moving the goalposts to the Ares project.

BTW, the SLS is a major waste, using very expensive Space Shuttle main engines which were designed to be re-used, but will be lost on every flight....
 
Obama had Curiosity and InSight. He also had Maven which is in orbit around Mars. Pretty damned sure that if you can put something in orbit around Mars, that putting something in low-earth orbit ain't a problem.

Do you do any research before you make dumbass arguments, or is this just something that flows without thinking about it?


Is it a rule that someone has to do research here? it must not be because few do research here...including yourself

What kind of fresh idiocy is that? He didn't have to do research because he already knew of various NASA accomplishments under Obama. He named them. See those names in the post? No?

What a stupid attempt at a *gotcha*.
 
Now that Trump is president we are back in the space business. Another larger rover is on its way to Mars.

Under Obama we couldnt even put a man in low earth orbit.

Yet humans were put into low Earth orbit and during Oblama NASA had a mission to find private firms willing to do space exploration...Since Oblama got stuck with the dying space shuttle program...

It's a huge economic crisis according to the numbers. As is the health crisis.

Are you saying that $$$ could not be diverted from one budget to another in a crisis?

:lamo:lamo:lamo

"YOU once again prove YOU have no clue what they are talking about."

Just own it.

This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa
 
bush didn't crash the economy again you prove you have no clue what you are talking about.

The 2007-08 crash happened during his administration because of his economic and deregulation policies. Obama got stuck cleaning it up. Part of the cleanup were deep budget cuts.

The Obama administration cut NASA's planetary-sciences budget by 20 percent in 2013, as part of a restructuring plan, contrary to the recommendations of the National Research Council.
 
Obama has proven to know very little about the law or the constitution.
He has proven that time and time again.

Your post is hilariously incorrect.

Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years, as a Lecturer for four years (1992–1996), and as a Senior Lecturer for eight years (1996–2004).
Wiki, Obama

It was as a law student that Obama first made history—and national headlines—when he was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review in the spring of 1990.

And as a law student, Obama met many professors and classmates who would prove helpful in his meteoric political rise from state senator to president of the United States in five years.
