NASA receives less than1% of the US budget;The military-industrial complex receives 50%;An obscene

statistic.

Definitely a government issue not to be able to allocate appropriate budget to NASA.

Seems Constellation is now cancelled. The US isn`t going anywhere.

I always liked Mike Griffin, and I like him even more now that I know he pronounces the years as two two-digit numbers, i.e. 2003 as "twenty-o-three." That's the way we should be doing it. I can't stand "two-thousand nine." Definitely by 2010, we must start saying "twenty ten."

What a terrrible shame he has to clear up the mess/lost opportunity at NASA before he can really start to get going. I'm afraid he has an uphill task created by his predecessors.

Agree. Its obscene. We need a defense obvious but the most revarding profits come from science and expanding our knowledge. Go Griffin, Go Nasa!

[Seabee4u]

I agree with that.

informative video. I want NASA to get more funding, but i think the chinese will probably overtake NASA in space discovery in the years to come.
