  • The Constellation program was canceled because it was a step BACKWARDS in what we have technologically in terms of sub-oribital space exploration as well as space travel in general. Obama knew it was a waste of time, man power and most of all MONEY to perpetuate a stagnant, over funded, blatantly obvious smoke screen (Constellation) to make us think that's as far as we have become in nearly 50 years.

  • lutetia, stains, eros, ida, probably also itokava and mathilde are not just asteroids check my flickr

  • This was pure political propaganda on your part miles.

    Why don't you tell us what he really meant then? How can you play those clips and decry what they said without explaining to us how it was obvious that he really meant something else.

    Do you really think that you make some sort of effective point by simply pretending that we should all just assume he meant something else?

    This was pure spin on your part, and completely pathetic partisan trash.

  • This is where I get in my plug in.That ( exernal ) tank should contine to fly with the Space Shuttle until SpaceX can launch a human crew ! And a five section (external) tank as apart of the Ares V !!! The Ares V was designed to launch 180 tons to low Earth orbit and 70 tons to the Moon and beyond ! Why ? Why ? Go back to the drawing board ?!! To design yet another HLV ?!!

  • @davisgreen2020 Because Ares 5 was never going to fly. If you were making a sandwich and you realized it was going to take 2 weeks and three thousand dollars to finish and it might not even be edible when you do, would you keep making it even if you knew you could make a sandwich in 5 minutes that was just as good for less money than it would take to finish the other one?

  • @monokhem Yes..Ares5 is history! I hope SpaceX's Falcon HLV will be up and launching soon !! Mars and the Moon is waiting !! High time we become a Type1 civilization !!

  • This is why Constellation should´nt have be canceled ! I have written before, if large rock was heading towards Earth !! Suddenly money would be found to get the Ares 1 and Ares V done !!!

  • i hope a asteroid comes and hits fox news buildings. since 70% of the united states believe in creationism its time to move out and let them kill each other over jesus. brazil would be my choice. they seem to be heading more toward science and reality. the usa also has the worst teachers. my 19 year old niece doesnt even know that hitler was german. she thinks he was russian. that shows u how good american schools are.

  • Thank you for putting a better perspective on that muslim relations thing. Im very political illiterate so when my boss (who btw is a rush lover) told me about that i was pissed. thank god for enlightened smart people!

  • Thank you for the show, keep them coming! I'm sure we all really appreciate the work you guys do.

  • Great show. I look forward to it every week. You're doing a brilliant job keep them coming!

  • At about 17 mins you speak against FOX lampooning Obama, but would you have done the same regarding the lampooning of Bush during the terms when Bush was in office?

  • @Iamnotaparakeet bush was the worst president in history, why would miles do that

  • Hey TWIS, did you notice a PRIVATE space service filed for Bankruptcy?

    In mid-June Rocketplane filed bankruptcy papers with the state of Wisconsin, where the company and its suborbital and orbital subsidiaries, Rocketplane Global and Rocketplane Kistler, had been based since leaving Oklahoma last year. The filings went unannounced and unnoticed until the Oklahoma Gazette, an alternative weekly publication in Oklahoma City, reported on the filings last week. Even with subsidies they went under.

  • @Kapitananime that is the whole point of the free market, bad business fails, do you think that might be why NASA is so bad? because it isn't allowed to go bankrupt?

  • @Kapitananime how come you're always on these videos talking shit about the different public and private space programs??! why dont you take your ignorant ass somewhere else. I'm sure you would fit in nicely at a site where they talk about chemtrails or fake moon landings or the illuminati..... just keep your uneducated conspiracy rhetoric far away from here

  • @jpourkav

    I am pointing out the obvious. It is you that shows such ignorance, as private space has done nothing to advance manned space flight without money from NASA.

    I support NASA and the Constellation program to get back to the moon. The Obama space policy is unpopular and it is reported that way in the media. Miles has gone to congress to advocate the flexible path BUT its all for nothing as Congress is rejecting the presidents plan, because it is a plan to deconstruct NASA. FREE SPEECH

  • @Kapitananime all i heard is "blah blah blah, CONSPIRACY!! blah blah blah" Fact: Obama's plan is not about deconstructing NASA, and private space will soon be putting humans in orbit much more inexpensively than any public program is capable of doing..... like i said, maybe a chemtrails/illuminati/fake moon landing website would be better suited for your opinions.

  • @Kapitananime wrong. Spacex was working on manned craft and human rated rockets before NASA ever gave them a dime. Bigelow only got a couple of patents off NASA before it started on it's moduels. Obama is the best preident for NASA since Kennedy, and Kennedy had a space race, a motivated populace, and a powerhouse of an economy behind his NASA.

  • Way to take on the idiots in the right wing echo chamber, Miles. Truly, "cable news" is a disgrace, whether it's Fox on the right, MSNBC on the left, or CNN in the now-brainless center. Sigh.

  • My problem was and is that boldens comment politicized practically EVERY decision he makes from now on. And anyways Bolden should stick to what his job is not "reaching out to the muslim world". That is a diplomates job if that is in the current job description for the chief of nasa then we know where to start fixing things.

    Nasa's job is space and science and there is a alot to do there dont give them side jobs of making arab orgnizations feel better.

    So with respect i must disagree miles.

  • We now see that Charles Bolden is a poor choice as administrator for NASA. But that is the reason he is there. Obama wants to remove much of what made America great. His first target was NASA.

    Obama planed to deconstruct NASA because he thought it was unpopular with the American public. He seriously miscalculated the affection the American people have for their space program. NASA is the agency that gives us Heroes without WAR. Obama has placed a poor choice at NASA, he should remove him NOW!

  • @Kapitananime no we dont see that. bolden is a bad diplomat but that doesnt matter because that isnt his job. get a life, there is no conspiracy.

  • @moneyman10k

    Who said anything about a conspiracy. Its obvious that Obama Garver and Bolden are openly trying to destroy NASA. Even Congress can see that as they are so opposed to the Obama policy. You get a life!

  • @Kapitananime "Its obvious that Obama Garver and Bolden are openly trying to destroy NASA."

    that is a conspiracy theory. and that is crazy. nobody is trying to destroy anything. obama garver are trying to make NASA better. shelby nelson are trying to give people jobs so they dont lose theirs.

  • Thanks, this is fantastically informative

  • This is a wonderful show.

  • NASA is a one of the greatest American achievements and a part of our world history. For any person or country to be offered to be a part of NASA is a honor. Evaluation of a person's trustworthiness and social status based on that individual's espousals and actions.

  • @moneyman10k Diplomat? I thought he was the head of NASA. Since when did that become diplomatic? Political, yes. Diplomatic, huh?

    I question why he did an interview on Al Jazeera in the first place.

  • lol "better space x than x space" you got me there miles, A+, full score for that one

  • "Why not?"

    You should know as well as anyone Miles. Nostalgia isn't worth risking lives. Delivering grapes and water isn't worth risking lives. NASA planned the last mission with attention to detail, not haphazardly forgetting something that needs to be done. Some last cargo that needs to be lifted. There isn't one.

  • Bottom line. American's want NASA to spend tax moneys on lunar outreach, not foreign outreach. We have a state department for that kind of thing. Duh.

    Bolden should spend time at home. Not abroad. NASA is fading and he is in another country. American children need inspiration now more then ever!

    Obama is de-enabling that mechanism of inspiration. And putting America's space program on hold with an unworkable policy that congress is rejecting!

  • Miles, I really love your show but please... Bolden said what he said. If what he said isn't what he meant then what? And how do you know what he meant?

    Come on man don't disappoint us now.

  • Interesting..........very clever

  • Hey Miles! What did Mr. Bolden really mean? How does orbital mechanics relate to NASA's outreach to the Muslim world? You did not elaborate on it and I am curious to know your opinion.

  • Wow, Miles throws down the gauntlet. Good on you Miles. Another great show. :)

  • enjoyed this week's show very much. and yes, there are plenty of "dim bulbs" on the big networks, but Fox takes the prize for being ignorant, petty and mean.

  • Miles, if you are going to criticize "dim bulbs" from Fox as you call their reporters, perhaps you should also go on record to criticize the dim bulbs at CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS as well as NPR for their so called coverage of space related news (or lack thereof).

    Better yet, why not just report space news and leave off the political stuff.

  • Grate show:) Its inforamative and its realy fun to watch.

    I realy liked the improvments done to csexstra spot:) thumbs up

    I realy like the full news on the docking soyus docking, only got the headlines as usal from the main stream media. Did i smell a littel relife that mils is not working for cabel news networks anymore?

  • Miles - this was very good.

    (Khal, the NASA MMO guy ;)
