Dear 'Cyber-friends,' Obama stated that he would increase                                                                                   NASA's budget by 6 billion over 5 years. He reduced NASA's budget by 2 and 1/2 billion                                                                  in fiscal 2010, therefore, the increase is a paltry 3 1/2 billion.
He wants to shift NASA focus from space to 'hockey stick' pseudo-science. It's political
science not climatology. New U.N. term: Climate and endangered species. U.N. keeps
changing term every time public wakes up, sees how bogus it is and no longer
supports it. Global Warming to Climate Change to Climate and Species. 'Hockey'
sticks," fudged data, cattle farts, suppressed data during peer review and "Al Gore'
placing sensors near heat-generating sources.
A few months ago,T. "Bones" Pickens (who ran PSAs in 2008 encouraged using all sources                              of domestic energy; oil magnate was willing to put his money where his mouth was stating                               that he would built wind-generating power plants across a whole state) abandoned solar/'wind                          after study proved it to be impractical. Hypocrite? No, smart business. Main-stream liberal                            media didn't cover his revelation We
need oil and/or natural gas from under water and/or on land and nuclear fission leading
 to fusion. NASA could help in that regard with developing nuclear fusion and nuclear thermal                 propulsion and power-generators  as part of CONSTELLATION/SATURN S-N COMBO.Would                                    You rather purchase oil from countries that support terrorists and
whose environmental and safety standards are lower then U.S. and England. Obama
plan will result in energy bills quadrupling over next ten years. Energy Independence
should be our goal.
I'm with Hero Neil Armstrong: build on existing technology, as well as, create new
technology - and that's what CONSTELLATION does - Big Time. 
Contact: Senators Shelby (R; Alabama; 202-224-5744) and Nelson (D; Florida; 202-
224-5272) please consider endorsing plan in "The Mystery Flight of April 23" here and at: rickscisite.

                          OBAMA'S PHANTOM SPACE PROGRAM
  by Richard DePersio, groups.google.com/group/rickcosmos-eclectic

       Far more then a white lie. Obama promises a heavy-lifter by 2015 which will
lead to manned missions to asteroids, Mars and the moons of Mars beginning
in 2025. No stated purpose for heavy-lifter between those  years. It is
impossible to built a heavy-lifter in five years, especially, when he is laying-off                                             virtually all Shuttle and Constellation administrators, managers, scientists, engineers and                      technicians for they         
are the ones with the expertise in heavy-lifting and manned spaceflight. Proof that he isn't                          seriously committed to deep space exploration. Constellation's
Ares heavy-lifter will be operational in 2017 - two years behind schedule and work began on                                   it in 2005 and if we prevent
Constellation from being cancelled. It was to be used in moon mission in 2020 under Bush Plan.
       1.25 trillion went down a presidential black hole in two failed stimulus packages
and Freddie and Fannie are sink holes. We've invested $9 billion in Constellation.
Will that go down self-same presidential black hole!?! It is the reason that we could
have a heavy-lifter by 2017 not 2015 by starting from scratch! Presidents Kennedy,
Johnson, Nixon, Reagan and Bush - chronologically and literally - in that order were
strongly committed to NASA and Bush to large-scale commercial investment in
space programs of their own. Obama wants to shift NASA's focus from space to
green pseudo-science.
       Recently, private sector SpaceX reached an altitude of 135 miles after three failed
attempts with a 'dummy' capsule. It claims that it will be ready to bring cargo to ISS
in early 2012 and astronauts in early 2014. It doesn't even posses blueprints for a
spacecraft and this is 2010! It recently informed fed gov that it requires an additional
$1 billion- cost over-run- to reach an the altitude of 185 miles - location of ISS - and                                            lift 55,000 pounds like Space Shuttle. NASA wasn't cost-effective prior to 1993 but
shuttles were upgraded between 1993-97 and became over 90% cost-effective and
each of the three shuttles are certified for over 75 more flights. SpaceX also
indicated that it might have to limit it to 25,000 pounds - we will have to pay them to
do in two flights what the shuttle can do in one!
       Unlike the president, we're Capitalists and realists. SpaceX should be granted
more time to do it right - effectively, efficiently and SAFELY!   Extend the lifespan
of the shuttle for two to four - no more in order to be on the safe side.
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL: NASA/Boeing have blueprints for a mini-Orion (not
the one without blueprints which Obama proposed and which starts from scratch)                                             but it was cancelled during R & D
phase (NASA s criticized for not completing ISS on schedule, it would have if it had                                       mini-Orion), resurrect it and it should be operational in 2 to 2 and a half years and be
able to lift over 25,000 pounds to ISS. PREVIOUS ORIGINAL PROPOSAL: Civilian
version of unmanned X-37B should be operational in less then two years (let's call
it "CONSTITUTION" when it becomes operational in order to drive liberals crazy!) and
manned version in 4 years or less (if estimates on the Air Force 'secret' program are
in the ball park).
        What about SpaceX's Falcon 9? Give it 3 to 4 years to begin cargo flights on a
limited basis and  5 to 6 years for limited number of manned flights. It should assume
nearly full control and responsibility (with NASA's watchful eye - eye opened             
wider on manned missions) by 2015 and virtual autonomy by 2017. Further, it should
immediately begin working with NASA and Boeing, as well as, NASA and Air Force
(recent directive allows for greater cooperation between NASA and military). Mini-Orion
should become Boeing/SpaceX project and unmanned and manned Constitutions
SpaceX programs (We spoke about NASA and Air Force using a different version in
original proposal concerning GPS previously).
        The astronautic-ally-challenged think that Constellation represents a step backward
by using Apollo/Saturn and Shuttle technologies and not cutting-edge technology.
Point One: it isn't using but building on those successful technologies which is smart
and cost-effective. Point two: Cutting-edge - how's this for you: 'artificial' gravity; solar
power-generation (that should please 'hockey sticks'); ion rocket engine; nuclear fusion
reactor (recently, the first fission power plant opened up since Three-Mile-Island. How sad.
We have had the technology to build much safer fission plants for over 15 years but
liberals wouldn't allow it - they love American energy dependence. It is estimated that
we can have even safer, less costly and -for cattle farters- non-greenhouse gas-producing
fusion plants between 2030-35. NASA and Constellation can accelerate process toward
energy independence by enabling us o have fusion a lot sooner).

and all the benefits - - NASA in your home, car, office, farm, factory, hospital. SAVE

           DATELINE: New York and Florida; 10:OO P.M. eastern

It isn't a little white lie but an astronomically-sized one. Obama claims that
he wants an ambitious program of manned exploration of the solar system
while shifting NASA focus from space to green pseudo-science. He contends
that he wants a heavy-lifter to replace Shuttle in five years. The first goal 
isn't achievable for he is laying-off virtually all of the Shuttle
and Constellation Teams of administrators, managers, scientists, engineers,
technicians.The second isn't attainable in five years even if he weren't kicking
great teams out of the space hatch door. He is telling you that he can do it
in five years starting from scratch with a new team! And, the $ 9 billion spent
on Constellation will go down a presidential black hole!  He is destroying our pride
and joy and our number one position in space science and technology with
all the economic ramifications thereof with an Obama ray gun!
Citizen Reporter:  "How does it look for Shuttle. Is it on death bed?'
Senator's Aide: Bi-partisan support for extending program for two years but
a majority of Congress doesn't seem to be behind it yet."
CR:  "What does Senator mean toward end of letter on SpaceRef (posted below)-
a bit legalese. Does he want to start from sratch?"
SA: "Senator doesn't. Assets include: Shuttle and Constellation teams remaining;
R & D facilities built for Constellation should continue to be used; contracts with
same companies;  Two components under-development in Constellation- Ares 1 & 5
heavy-lifter and Orion - shouldn't  be abandoned - - their data, R & D, facilities- but
we should determine where it may be applicable in the design of a new heavy-lifter
as per president's request."
CR:  "Keeping teams and some of the technologies of Apollo, Shuttle and    Constellation."
SA:  "If they can be used as is or modified in new heavy-lifter and manned program."

We still want our  fresh, new original proposals considered: a cutting edge version
of the Saturn S-N (planned for late 1970's but cancelled; mini-Orion that NASA and
Boeing were once developing but cancelled; modified civilian versions of 'secret'
Air Force X-37B unmanned and manned models. We have suggested concepts to
two senators thus far. Good start but we want more. There  is nothing wrong with Ares 1 & 5                     as is.We are willing to compromise: extend life of shuttle for 2 to 4 years depending
on SpaceX progress.  'Cyber-friends,' we must stick together: Continue to phone or leave               messages at websites of 9 members     of congress listed below. We want most of Constellation            saved (we will no long demand all; we must be willing to compromise).

Hello sir,
We just spoke on the telephone, I'm Max from Sen. Nelson's office. I did a little poking around on the internet and found, I hope, some information that will be helpful to you. The Ares project is the next generation of NASA heavy lifters, and will take over for the heavy lifting capabilities of the Space Shuttles. The Ares would enable NASA to service satellites and the International Space Station. I believe what Sen. Nelson is doing in that letter is asking that the Ares program be continued, since the Constellation program, of which it is a part, has been cancelled. I know that's not much, but if you have more specific questions, please email me back and I will let you know.

How will Obama built a heavy-lifter in 5 years starting from scratch? Obama BIG White Lie! Over $1 trillion down presidential black hole with 2 failed stimulus packages. Fannie and Freddie are sink holes. $10 billion invested in CONSTELLATION down self-same black hole. Obama plan: U.S. will never leave earth orbit. CONSTELLATION'S Ares heavy- lifter will be ready in 2017 - give or take a year. Obama: Heavy- lifter will lead to manned missions to asteroids, Mars, moons of moons. It's Ares or we relinquish our dominance in space. He has no intention of keeping his space word SpaceX claims it will carry 55,000 pounds of cargo to ISS altitude of 185 miles like Space Shuttle in early 2012 if it receives additional $1 billion from fed gov (cost-over-run), otherwise, 25,000 pounds to altitude of 135 miles - useless! It states that it will begin manned flights in early 2014! We are Capitalist unlike the president. We want SpaceX's Falcon 9 to be successful, efficient and safe; we don't won't it to undergo pressure to realize an unrealistic timetable. Due to large-scale upgrades between 1992-97 Space Shuttle became 90% cost-effective and each shuttle has been certified for 150 more flights. Most experts are recommending that shuttle be extended for 2 to 3 years to be on safe side no more then that. SpaceX doesn't have a blueprint for a spacecraft; it orbited a 'dummy.' Original Proposal 1: NASA and Boeing have a blueprint for a mini-Orion and were doing R & D on it when it became a victim of budget cuts. ISS would have been completed on schedule had this cargo vessel not been canceled. We're confident it could be flight-ready in 2 to 3 years. Original Proposal 2: It is reasonable to assume that X-37B will be operational in 2 years if it already isn't. Certainly, civilian version could be ready in 2 years. Due to new directive NASA can work more closely with  military. Speculated manned version in 3 to 3 1/2 years as a joint NASA/Air Force with classified safeguards. Falcon 9 can begin limited cargo flights in 4 years and manned flights in 6 if NASA-certified. It should begin working with NASA and Boeing and NASA and Air Force immediately. NASA should turn over mini- Orion and x-37b (let's call it CONSTITUTION when it becomes operational in order to drive liberals crazy!) to Boeing/SpaceX and virtual autonomy for earth orbital missions. (We have plans regarding modified unmanned Constitution and GPS). SRI, we hope that he isn't a real Rev., we don't want to wind up in a black hole!Another thing: Obamo wants to shift NASA focus from space to green pseudo- science. Look at NASA record: Unique gov program $7 return in pure science and spin- offs, applications (technology for our economic engine and it's budget is only .5 % of total federal budget - NASA in your home, car, office, factory, farm, hospital) for $1 budgeted. Rev., we saw your critique of NASA on Facebook. Don't strike me with a bolt of lightning for telling truth...was that thunder? Now, hat we finally get a chance at; RE- REBUTTAL. CONSTELLATION represents a step backward for it is using Apollo/Saturn and Space Shuttle technologies. Not so. It is building in those proven technologies which is cost-effective while it develops cutting-edge technology: 'artificial' gravity; solar power-generation (hockey- sticks should like that) ion rocket engine (which may be used on Mars mission and is part of CONSTELLATION program); (as is) fusion reactor. Energy independence: is estimated that we will have safe, much less- expensive then fission, non-greenhouse gas-producing (another one for the cattle farts; excuse my language in case you are a real Rev.) between 2030-35. NASA could accelerate that process. A NASA engineer - we won't mention his name - says we have to purge ourselves of the present top NASA administrators and the NASA can enjoy a stellar future. With Obama plan: we fade to black. -Richard DePersio (former, space researcher; former, museum educator - Thanks, SRI, this article will appear here first, we should combine our efforts and create something bigger and better. we have ideas).
