I have one thing to say, (expletive deleted) barack obama
ok, two things, the only way we are going to survive, as a species, is to be elsewhere when the earth has the next giant rock run into it, gamma ray burst from a nearby supernovae, I pass gas and light a match, ect. We only have so much time, once its gone, and there is a super disaster, wee're simply too specialized to put things back together, on a planet wide basis, if there is an event that leaves us with less then 5% of our current population, I mean, really, who knows how to make a generator, or how to refine hydrogen, or helium, or any of a million other things that our every day life is based on, to sum up this giant run-on sentence, if we dont get off this planet, we're doomed.

All things come to an end. All species will eventually become extinct. That is nature.

As if there haven't been enough rumors going around already, work is going to get pretty interesting once the budget is released on Monday. I'm surprised we haven't started getting the flood of emails from the higher-ups yet.

So, instead of spending government money to pay private companies to build space hardware, we're going to pay government money to private companies to build less space hardware, and hope some other countries step up to help us?

Neal I'm with you! I'm as blue as those aliens in Avatar but frack first the Dems coudn't accomplish anything on health care with a "super" majority in congress and now they axed NASA's new spacecraft. I'm considering changing my party affiliation.

Serously DIS-A-POINTED with Obama...

As long as enough of us get off this planet, the species will survive. It's having all the eggs in one basket as we currently do that's the problem.

However, Mars as an alternate home isn't looking too attractive. Makes Antarctica look like Palm Beach.
