@MrLawritz Excuse me? I made 2 comments over the course of the past year about him on this video.

[MrLawritz]

This is kinda boring and kinda cool at the same time.

[MrLawritz]

@EndeavourLaunch Can you stop talking about Obama? Because I don't think you can.

@dcb1138 I made that comment a year ago btw. my views have done a 180 on Obama. He' a liar like all of them.

[dcb1138]

@EndeavourLaunch what are you smoking ?? HAve you read the news recently ?? Obama wants to Cancel ARES / ORION.

Augustine commission ruled the LV replicated existing capabilities for double the cost.

Why build this when a Delta IV-H will do the same thing and cost less?

I was expecting this program to be cancelled as far back as 2007 as that's when all the serious technical bugs started cropping up .

Really they should have scrapped it when the SSME upper stage was dropped in 2006.

The J2X just does not have to performance to make it work.

But Orion getting cancelled as well was a surprise.

SCREWED BY OBAMA....The AIG executives need another bonus

[MightySaturn5]

Obama...time will tell far more then his words

[EndeavourLaunch]

Like hell Ares I is getting canceled, under the new Obama administration I doubt it, Barack Obama really supports the Space Program, but congress doesn't.

With each passing day I become more and more excited about the Ares I-X test flight.
