:twisted: Ok, I'm angry. I'm angry that NASA has had no direction. First, they develop a direction to go to the Moon and then to Mars. It seemed reasonable enough, just get the funding. Then Bush won't give Nasa the funding to do the job. Then Obama comes in and shows a complete disregard for the agency and may not only not give them a budget but also completely change the focus of the agency as a whole. We the people of this country who support Nasa and spaceflight as taxpayers are mad. We are mad at getting played. We are mad at seeing a lack of leadership and I'm really mad at former astronauts such as Buzz Aldrin who don't know when they are getting played saying "we need to go to Mars" and the current administration uses that as a means of dropping the lunar program with no intention of ever getting the budget to go to Mars. Right now we are all a bunch of suckers and I'm sick of it. The only hope I see is in the hands of private space, with visionaries such as Elon Musk and Richard Branson leading the way, God bless them. I feel that a lot of us here have to vent. This is the place to do it.
