    Please search "Richard Feynman" "Challenge disaster", and learn why a GM-NASA marriage is a Marriage made in Heaven: Two heavily dysfunctional entities supported by taxation. In the book "Halfway to anywhere" the author questions how is it possible that the Russians (using decades-old Soviet-era hardware) are better than NASA in the open market or putting payloads in the space. The Russians have never been very efficient or competitive at anything but at designing RPGs and assault rifles. To be less efficient than them -as NASA is- is something to be worried about. And please, please search "ASIMO" at youtube if you do not know how incredibly oudated is that NASA robot. Ironically, ASIMO is a children of Honda, and it has been developed with private money. How boneheaded from GM to use that robot as a publicity gimmick, given that Honda has a much, much (MUCH!) better robot. How sad I am when I see how bad it is going the United States of America. Sad, sad, sad.

    Does NASA actually have a spacecraft since the shuttles are grounded (or exploded one by one)? From what I last heard they needed to rely on the Russians and Europeans (and soon Chinese) to carry things up. It would be like GM not only built bad cars, but cars that don't drive at all. GM can't even the 12 V system under control and bulbs burn out all the time.... if it gets serious i rather rely on my homemade space craft than putting my life in a union made space craft, designed by the people who brought us the Aztec and the Aveo. So the Volt and our tax money now officially is pie in the sky?? :-)

    I thought Obama was killing the space program.

      According to Palin, Obama is too busy killing grandma to get around to killing the space program.

    Ok, when he is finished killing Grandma he can set his sights on NASA.
