privatizing space

[2minkey]

strange that the same administration that several of you have decried for "killing" the space program and/or shuttle is actively working with commercial interests.

very odd. i would expect, given the characterizations here, that obama would only be interested in things like forwarding the gay agenda into outer space.

Again, showing your clear lack of understanding for our Constitutional Republic.

how is that, considering that i have not voiced an opinion one way or another on this, but simply pointed out the use of private companies vs. an all government approach?

well golly gosh sugar pie. a simple boy like me don't understand our constitutional republic but this sure is interesting. still seems strange that command and control commie obama is letting this go on. or perhaps he is waiting for the right time to seize the private space companies, letting them do the hard work first. that must be it. otherwise don't make no sense hee-haw ma.

SpaceX launch a reminder that NASA isn't the only game in town anymore. Aspiring engineers, rocket designers, space geeks look to 'New Space' companies to boldly go where only governments used to go."​
