Obama has Nasa focus on “Global Warming” instead of moon missions
The Obama administration plans to ax NASA plans to return astronauts to the moon,according to anticipated 2011 federal budget the White House aims to release to Congress in the first week of February,Jerome Corsi’s Red Alert reports.
Instead,the administration plans to reorient NASA to a much more terrestrial mission – monitoring earth climate changes in an effort to document global warming.
An article in the Orlando Sentinel reported the Obama administration 2011 budget would eliminate money for the constellation program that was supposed to return Americans to the moon by 2020.
Also cut by the Obama administration were two rockets key to the NASA plan to return to the moon – the Ares I rocket to replace the space shuttle to ferry humans to space stations orbiting the earth and the Ares V cargo rocket that was to launch the fuel and supplies to take humans back to the moon.
"There will be no lunar landers,no moon bases,no constellation program at all,"Robert Block and Mark Matthews of the Orlando Sentinel wrote. "In the meantime,the White House will direct NASA to concentrate on Earth-science projects – principally,researching and monitoring climate change."
