• Commented on Official NASA Shuttle Talking Points

  That memo talks about going to the Moon. I thought we'd "....been there, done that...."? The lack of leadership and lack of direction would be laughable if it weren't so freakin' sad. Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted "One US President can...

• Commented on Video: NASA: Increasing the Awesome

  Miles, the gentleman who created that video does an every other day vlog at http://www.youtube.com/user/vlogbrothers His brother does the alternate days. They've got quite the following some 'space cadet' ripped it off and reposted it. The original is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFvMPWSBQxw&feature=channel_video_title...

• Commented on Endeavour to LA, Atlantis to KSC, Discovery to DC, Enterprise to New York

  Stan, I wasn't clear. Intrepid will take great care of Enterprise. It's just that the Shuttle becomes a lower tier attraction within NYC. It'll help raise the profile of Intrepid, but there's still a long way to go in that...

• Commented on Endeavour to LA, Atlantis to KSC, Discovery to DC, Enterprise to New York

  Kevin, no I've never been to California Science Center. I've been to a lot of museums around the world and frankly, I had never heard of the place until Boldin mentioned it this afternoon. I looked at their website, and...

• Commented on White House Logo Police Call NASA Watch to Complain

  Don't the rule on this page: http://www.usa.gov/copyright.shtml apply? By being something that the public paid for, they are by definition public domain, and we should be able to use them as such....

• Commented on Endeavour to LA, Atlantis to KSC, Discovery to DC, Enterprise to New York

  I understand why Houston and JSC feels emotional about not getting a Shuttle, but they have don't have a place for it. Udvar-Hazy and KSC make sense in that they do. The Intrepid Museum is a head scratcher, it's a...

• Commented on Shuttle Museum Announcement Today

  There are some compelling stories and arguments for many of the sites speculated here. But let's remember that the Shuttles will become historic artifacts very shortly. They must be taken care of with great care so that generations of people...

• Commented on Schweickart to Nelson: [we] Are on a Dead End Road

  Please read. Schweickart goes through and gives his evidence of why Constellation was poor stuff. Then HE states "The alternative to this is support for the President's proposed plan." The alternative. Not AN alternative. The issue that I have with...

• Commented on Schweickart to Nelson: [we] Are on a Dead End Road

  Why does this need to be binary? If Constellation wasn't going to work, then President Obama's Plan will. The way I see it, BOTH plans are dead ends. Yes, Constellation would be inching us along and keep some capabilities. But...

• Commented on Florida Does Not Like The New Space Policy

  If Constellation/VSE was Apollo on Steroids, is Flexible path VSE with ADHD?...

• Commented on Bolden and Holdren Fight Back

  HLVer, My bad, I've never seen those comments. Thing is, since they're so far behind the information curve on this, they need to hammer this point home repeatedly....

• Commented on Bolden and Holdren Fight Back

  Areo Speedwagon, I don't recall Bolden saying anything of what NASA "will do". I do recall a comment from the Administrator that he'd like to go to Mars as a goal, but his personal ambitions for NASA are different what...

• Commented on Bolden and Holdren Fight Back

  Is the "Obama Plan" really a plan? It's more of a vague outline that's open for variable interpretations. It would be nice if some leadership somewhere stood up and explained what's happening, what's going to happen and what's the goal...
