           ...THROWN by OBAMA to CELEBRATE HIS MURDER of NASA

                                           by Richard DePersio                                                                      (All comsats listed and described at groups.google.com/group/rickcosmos-eclectic)

(WHAT CAN YOU... 

and  follow it up with a party at the Capital Building for the purpose of laughing at

congressional logic. BYOB! You will need it when you realize that it is dangerous not funny

regarding AMERICA's SCIENTIFIC-TECHNOLOGICAL-ECONOMIC FUTURES not to

mention our NATIONAL PRESTIGE!.Let's do a quick review. The Bush Plan: Ending the Space Shuttle Program in 2011 and    ......DO TO STOP...

the ISS (International Space Station) in 2015. Replacing the Space Shuttle with the Orion

Spacecraft atop the Ares 1 Rocket in 2013 (due to under-funding goal was pushed back to

2015). The Orion Spacecraft would take astronauts to the Space Station, to the Moon in

2020 and Mars in 2035. The Ares 1 would be used by Orion to get to the Space Station and

to the Moon. The Ares 5 Heavy-Lifter would be able to lift as much weight to earth orbit as the

Space Shuttle and be unmanned. It would lift the propulsion system needed to go to Mars

and beyond and be operational by 2016.      ...THE...

The Obama Plan canceled the Shuttle in 2010 too but extended lifetime of Space Station to

2020. Orion, Ares 1, Moon Base, Ares 5 all scrubbed. SpaceX's Falcon 9 would bring

cargo to Space Station beginning in early 2012 and astronauts in early 2014. The private

sector would be responsible for earth to earth orbit and back. A Heavy-lifter would be NASA's

job and be ready by 2016 but it wouldn't be Ares 5. Mind you, he wants to terminate

Constellation Program (Orion, Ares 1, Altair - moon lander - Ares 5) on which we already

spent $9 billion - it would go down a presidential black hole! He favors the commercialization

of space - a capitalistic idea? We subsidize the Oil and Agricultural Industries, Fannie

and Freddie and, now, the auto industry, commercial and investment banks - all

uncapitalistic and wrong! Obama had to give SpaceX an additional $1 billion and it

sill won't meet it's 2012 and 2014 goals!      .....MADNESS..

.

We don't object to SpaceX using NASA facilities for R & D and picking the brains of NASA

experts. The House Plan calls for spending less on SpaceX then Senate - both

less then Obama wants - - both too much in our opinion. Private industry is at it's best

when their is a minimum of government interference not when their heavily regulated and

worse funded and controlled by BIG GOV. The House Plan calls for developing space

hardware largely based on Orion, Ares ! and Ares 5 while the Senate to a lesser degree.

Both do away with Moon landings leading to a base and extend lifetime of Space

Station to 2020. PUTTING THE CART AHEAD of the HORSE... The Senate gives equal priority to Heavy-lifter and NASA vehicle for earth to earth orbit to earth by 2016 (and, perhaps, eventually,system will be part of beyond earth orbit mission system for 2025).Both are under-budgeted. House is under-budgeted but gives priority to returning NASA to earth orbit and spreading money over more years - Heavy-Lifter by 2019 - - for what purpose if Space Station ends in 2020 and we don't plan to leave earth orbit until 2025!

..SEE...

THE ELEPHANT in the ROOM...Let's assume SpaceX can succeed in spite of gov 

interference. It can't do cargo by '12 and crew by '14. We are going to have to pay

Russia an astronomically large price tag to take astronauts to our Space Station - we

paid bulk of the cost! The HUMILIATION!!! We BEAT THEM in MOON RACE, we will

have to beg them for a ride on their timetable! The Three Space Shuttles have been

certified Flight-Capable for over 75 more missions a piece. Spend less on SpaceX -

subsidizing is socialistic and don't pay Russia to carry us like a baby. NASA

shouldn't be grounded.WE are the GREATEST!!! With the money saved, we can afford

7 to 10 Shuttle Missions over next three years and, perhaps, 12 to 15 over next six

years. $3 billion additional can get us Ares 1 by between 2014 and 2016 ending Shuttles Remember: NASA is unique gov program; NASA gives a $7 return in the form of pure science and spin-offs/applications (technology)on each dollar it's budgeted and creates jobs unlike

Obama(NASA and private companies that contract with NASA have begun issuing

pink slips.because Obama is spending tax-payer money irresponsibly and UNCONSTITUTIONALLY!!! TWENTY-SIX BILLION to states to save jobs of teachers and police because governors and mayors are afraid of unions and won't act to cut wasteful spending. Spend like Obama until the dollar is worthless!

He's A.D.D..-ing.You know the rest of Citizen's Reporter's Plan regarding Moon, NERVA,

X-37B.            ...BELOW...

Ladies and gentlemen, What makes more sense: extending Shuttle for 4 to 6 years or 

giving money to Russia and subsidizing another private company. What makes more 

sense: Saving as much of Ares 1 and 5 as possible or staring from scratch like

Obama wants to do?Recently, NASA announced that for $2.5 billion it can have an    Upgraded New-Version Shuttle that can lift only half as much as present Shuttle but be capable of lifting as much by 2020I It would have the large external fuel tank and two solid booster rockets but instead of portion of Shuttle that looks like a space plane, it would     have something similar to Orion/Ares 1which some day can be part of beyond earth orbit missions.NASA builds on existing technology which is a cost-effective.

and safe thing to do while it develops new technologies.

Shuttle by 2016 which can lift only half as much as present Shuttle.

EXTEND LIFESPAN OF SHUTTLE FOR FOUR TO SIX YEARS AND SAVE, MODIFY

and BUILD ON WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THUS FAR IN 

CONSTELLATION PROGRAM.... TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE....TIME IS RUNNING

NASA RESTORED AS MAIN SCIENTIFIC/TECHNOLOGICAL ENGINE OF ECONOMY.

NEITHER PLAN IS GOOD BUT HOUSE BETTER THEN SENATE PLAN. NEITHER PLAN
PREVENTS AMERICAN HUMILIATION!!! WE WILL NO LONGER BE NUMBER ONE
IN SPACE AND THAT WILL DO GREAT DAMAGE TO OUR PRESTIGE AND OUR ECONOMY!!!!
