Obama calls for End to NASA’s Moon Program
I have several issues with this plan. My first is why independent organizations have the capability to go to space for pennies compared to what it costs NASA, and to do it without all of the resources. There is a system that works with them. If I have $250,000 I can go to space too thanks to spaceship one and virgin galactic.
My other issue with the idea that NASA should not build their own spacecraft anymore. They are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration last time I checked, not the Better Space Business Bureau. They should be building the next best thing for outer space travel.
What do I like about the plan? Giving NASA more money for scientific discovery of new experimental rockets and craft. Making them more like the small business space organizations that can focus on the quality of the crafts rather than the economics.
In short, don’t make NASA just a customer to the independent space programs. Use your size to develop cutting edge equipment. Use your resources to design the next generation vehicle. Don’t become a money manager for private industry, also don’t become an employee to other nations.
