SHOULD NASA BE GROUNDED or ONCE AGAIN the MAIN TECHNOLOGICAL ENGINE of
OUR ECONOMY?
Each Space Shuttle has been certified flight-capable for over 75 more flights; we are only talking about less then 35 flights over 4 years or less. Instead president and congress want to pay Russia whom we beat in Moon Race an astronomically high price for 'tickets' to carry our astronauts to space station for which we footed most of the cost on their timetable (How Humiliating!) or our banker (China!). and subsidize SpaceX (a private company; we contend that fed gov subsidizing is socialistic, Unconstitutional and detrimental for a company's R & D because Uncle Sam is looking over your back with thousands of forms to fill out because you excepted gov money) which won't be operational for 3 or more years. Further, we spent $9 billion on Constellation Project - don't let it go down same presidential black hole as stimulus funds and Fannie and Freddie! Incorporate it into the new program that is being planned. PLEASE VISIT www.rickaddsite.blogspot.com and consider sending article "New and Improved: "Are You a Warrior" or another article at site to one or two family members or friends or co-workers and ask them to send to one or two people. ANOTHER WORTHWHILE CHAIN LETTER. Or, you might opt for just sending this 'letter.' Repeat the process the day after the election. Are No. 1 position in technology is in jeopardy. Please act now.
NASA in YOUR HOME, CAR, OFFICE, FARM, FACTORY, HOSPITAL and MORE! UNIQUE
GOV PROGRAM - YOU ACTUALLY GET A RETURN! While it is only budgeted 1/2 of
1% of federal budget, you get $7 back in pure science and applications/spin-offs
(technology).
Are you eager to do more? Write a letter to your local newspaper (if you still read one)
or their internet-version (if they have one). CONTACT CONGRESS and tell them to
extend lifespan of Space Shuttle and save as much of CONSTELLATION Program as
Other key players: Conrad; Greg; Sprat; Ryan and your two senators and congressman.
