Say it ain't so........

Now we're going to far. We need to conquer space so we have somewhere to go. Something for all these bureaucrats to do with our stolen money.

How are we supposed to pay all these bailout monies if we get rid of all these stupid ideas?

Well?

Next thing you know we'll have to lower spending and balance the budget. (Not!!)

Unexplained Mysteries :: NASA may abandon plans for Moon base

It is believed NASA may abandon its plans to build a base on the Moon and instead focus its efforts on manned missions to Mars or near-Earth asteroids. The agency is still thought to be sending humans back to the Moon by 2020.

"NASA will probably not build an outpost on the moon as originally planned, the agency's acting administrator, Chris Scolese, told lawmakers on Wednesday. His comments also hinted that the agency is open to putting more emphasis on human missions to destinations like Mars or a near-Earth asteroid."
