NASA Chief: USA Will Not Go to the Moon Anytime Soon |
 Maybe
it is time to remove the "S" from NASA. The word "Space" is being less
and less associated with our once-great agency. It seems now the moon
is too high for American scientists and engineers to reach. NASA chief
Charles Bolden declared at a joint meeting of the Space Studies Board
and the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board that "NASA
is not going to the moon with a human as a primary project probably
in my lifetime." Instead we will play supporting roles for China and
Russia in their missions. U.S. astronauts already are humiliated into
hitching rides to the International Space Station
(ISS) from those countries while we transfer
technology paid for by our taxpayers to them. We have no manned space
vehicle, many telescopes and unmanned spacecraft projects are shutting
down, and NASA funds are diverted to
Mission to Planet Earth. Not to worry, though, at least a NASA
outreach to the Muslim world - a religious group, BTW - is in the
works.Posted April 2013
