The unmanned 'secret' Air Force X-31B is more maneuverable then a satellite. President Eisenhower wanted NASA to to be a civilian agency with very little involvement with the military when he created it in 1958. But, now we are at war with terrorists. Last year, in a
translucent manner China made it clear that it might choose to militarize space which
would make our GPS system used by the military vulnerable. Now, everyone uses it, including, China. They have chosen to build one of their own in order not to be dependent on us.
Nutritious food for thought: X-31B might replace or back-up GPS for reason given in
sentence one. Temporary reposition when it becomes a target.
Obama NASA plan is bad for America. Hero and expert Neil Armstrong agrees with me.
My opinion: He will shrink his plan and substantially reduce NASA's budget Commercial
space ventures will be dependent on gov NASA and NSF for a long time. He will be as
faithful to NASA as he is to the Constitution.
