No Liftoff: Obama budget grounds NASA

From a Time Magazine report:

NASA will always have fans, and they'll always be rabid -- folks who love the machines, swoon over the history and long to see Americans back on the moon and flying on toward Mars.

Space buffs will be happy that Obama will increase NASA's budget - but not enough to send astronauts very far.

There are too many ambitious projects for the administration to spend money on in the name of job creation.

Look on the bright side -- at least there won’t be a whole new generation of moon landing deniers pointing to phantom shadows and unnatural waving flags in photos.
