Subject: CHAIN LETTERS OF A NATURE UNORTHODOX 2 & 1 DIGESTED
PREFACE (A preface to a letter, can he do that? He's doing it): It is
our fervent hope that you will read all seven "Action Chain Letters"
(must visit this site - you are here! - /group/rickcosmos-eclectic and
/group/newfederalism in order to collect all seven) and
that you will seriously consider working on the proposals with which
you agree during 2011. Please share chain letters with family, friends
and co-workers. (Sympathy Card: disabled and homebound; will do
anything for
what we call "The Second American Revolution" - even exploitation of
the Self).
Proposal 1:
All congressional legislation should come with a requisite attachment
showing the constitutionality of content. (Reason: Self-evident).
Update:
We won this in House; we should work for it in Senate.
Proposal 2:
We've spent $9.5 billion on "Constellation" Program R & D. It should
not be allowed to go down same presidential black hole as
"Cash-for-Clunkers," the stimulus packages and Fannie/Freddie! As much
of it as possible should be incorporated
into the plans, which our underdevelopment, for a new
manned spacecraft, earth-mars transfer module, new heavy-lifting rocket.
Update:
It would appear as if there is a 50/50 chance that this will not come
to pass; not good enough - more work strongly indicated.
NASA receives only one half of 1% of federal budget. It is a unique
government program - you actually get a return on your investment!
There is a $7 return within about a 5 year period for every $1 it is
budgeted in the
form of pure science (increasing man's knowledge which is good in
itself but
also has potential of becoming applied science or technology) and
spin-offs/applications (technology: NASA in your home, car, factory,
farm, office, hospital;
NASA all around you and you are largely oblivious to the fact).
We say "yes" to private/commercial space programs and "no" to taxpayers
subsidizing it. We're not going to share in the dividends (for more
info see: "Where are My Dividends" at /group/nasa-our-way and "Do You
Think..." at
/group/newfederalism, as well as, "Action Chain Letter: 4."). All
subsidies are socialistic and unconstitutional and should be phased-out
over a three to ten year period (depending on
the program), especially, in light of the fact
that we face the possibility of our nation losing its Triple 'A' Bond
Rating within 4
years and becoming a third-world nation within 20 years if we don't get
serious about cutting government spending.
We are giving in the form of a subsidy (no pay back) $3.5 billion to
SpaceX's Falcon 9 program and $1 billion to (the wealthy owner of)
Virgin Galactic.
SpaceX is already $900 million over budget! (Were they penalized? No;
they were given an additional $900 million! Who wanted to subsidize?
The constitutional criminal himself: Obama; by
our count: 14 constitutional infractions thus far).
This money should have been invested in that unique government program
- part of which
would have prevented the massive lay-offs (at NASA and the companies
that contract with
NASA; no subsidy here - contract) during a recession. It is imperative
that NASA
is restored to being the scientific/technological engine of the economy
at the level it
enjoyed, 1958-73.
Please consider phoning and/or leaving a message at the website of
members of Congress. You might want to start with your two U.S.
senators and one
congressman. Phone 202-224-3121 to find out their names (you must know
the name of
the state in which you live!) or the name of the chairman or ranking
member of a
particular sub-committee or committee.You might want to venture outside
of your state. Some
suggestions: (www.)shelby.senate.gov/public and 202-224-5744;
(www.)ryan.senate.gov/public/; Senator Rubio; House members:
(www.)conrad.house. gov/public/, Greg, Bishop,
Wolf. Contact then as regards any proposal; added bonus:
most are members of committees
and/or sub-committees relating to NASA).
Please check out: YouTube: Rickaddsite and www.rickaddsite.blogspot.com
for more information. Let's do ourselves a "SECOND AMERICAN
REVOLUTION"!!!
Rickcosmos
stolen from the states
by fed gov and end all subsidies except under extraordinarily
circumstances, otherwise, let free-market
forces operate (details in forthcoming chain letter, also see: "She
Only had Time for a Short One -
Part Two."

Rickcosmos
two shuttle flights
per year with new external fuel tank beginning in 2013. SpaceX won't
begin cargo flights for 2 or
more years and manned flights for 4 or more. Humiliation: being
dependent on their schedule and
paying them a hefty price to fly our astros for 4 years when we beat
them in Moon Race - Russia.
Two birds with one stone: we already told you in an update here that
NASA is considering a
new
heavy-lifter/beyond earth-orbit explorer with a large external fuel
tank.
Rickcosmos
fuel tank might be adaptable to tentatively planned heavy-lifter/
beyond earth-orbit explorer.
Update: obama proposed NASA budget wrong-headed on three
scores: 1) subsidies commercial earth to earth-orbit to earth
development - we explained on numerous occasions why all
subsidies should end; 2) failure to respond to proposal to
minimize our dependency on Russia; 3) clear that he wants to
kill NASA, claims to support heavy-lifter, where is leadership -
which version and how much eventual funding. NASA can't
operate in limbo.
