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

How does car building relate to rocket building? And they probably could make a car that will go 60,000 miles without the wheels falling off, but you can bet it will be more expensive. It all comes down to money.

We can do all this, but we can't make a car that will go 60,000 miles without the wheels falling off...go figure...

Thank you for posting this quarterly report video. As the United States transitions from the Space Shuttle to Project Constellation, it is important that NASA keeps the general public, especially human spaceflight advocates like myself, informed and up-to-date.
