America Ends Its Space Shuttle Program and Era in Space … Atlantis Lands at Kennedy Space Center for Last Time

MISSION NO MORE …THE END OF AN ERA.

After 135 flights  in a predawn landing at 5:57 am, the space shuttle Atlantis touched down at the Kennedy Space Center for the very last time and thus ended a three decade era of space shuttle flight. It is hard to believe that the shuttle flights have come to an end, I can remember when it all first began and we were allowed to watch in school as the shuttle program first began. What is even harder to believe is that NASA really has no immediate transition into the next approach to space flight.

“Mission complete, Houston,” said Capt. Christopher J. Ferguson of the Navy, commander of the shuttle Atlantis for the last flight. “Afterserving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has earned its place in history, and it’s come to a final stop.”

It was the 19th night landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to end the 135th space shuttle mission. For Atlantis, the final tally of its 26-year career: 33 missions, accumulating just short of 126 million miles during 307 days in space.

“Having fired the imagination of a generation … its voyage at an end”. So what next for today’s generation to fire its imagination? It’ peaks volumes, doesn’t it? What is the future of manned space flight in the US? Sadly, it means even more individuals losing their jobs, but what is new for this Administration.

A special thanks to all that took part in the US Space Shuttle program, a job well done and God Bless those members of the Space Shuttle Challenger Columbia and Challenger.

Remember when this Democrat President challenged America to space travel … “WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON”. JFK had a vision for the, “this country of the United states was not built by those who waited and rested, and wished to look behind them.”

Remembering the Heroes of the Space Shuttle Challenger 25 Years Later

Twenty five years ago today, January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight and devastated a nation. America watched in horror as many school children watched the disaster live on TV in classrooms across the country as Christa McAuliffe was the first teacher in space. We remember the American heroes of the Space Shuttle Challenger, Michael J. Smith, Dick Scobee, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe, Gregory Jarvis, Judith Resnik.

Watch President Ronald Reagan’s historic speech to a mourning United States that will forever be remembered for the proud and calming words of our Commander in Chief … ” We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of Earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.”

Sadly I remember this event like it was yesterday as one of the heroes that perished lived not too far away. Do you remember where you were? I can also remember President Reagan comforting a nation like only he could with heartfelt words that do not exist today.

Obama Press Sec Gibbs Says NASA Administrator Bolden Misspoken When He told Al Jazeera His Top Priorities was to Reach Out to Muslim Countries

Priceless … Obama White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden must have misspoken when he told Al Jazeera last month that one of his top priorities is to reach out to Muslim countries. Really, Bolden misspoke? That’s a rather convenient and unbelievable excuse.

So Gibbs says that Muslim Outreach is not the job of NASA. Does Barack Hussin Obama know that? Maybe the “Chosen One” would like to explain why Bolden was there in the first place. He seemed to be pretty well versed for some one who was confused and misspoke.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that NASA Administrator Charles Bolden must have misspoken when he told Al Jazeera last month that one of his top priorities is to reach out to Muslim countries.

“That was not his task and that’s not the task of NASA,” Gibbs said.

NASA last week walked back Bolden’s claim that Muslim outreach was the “perhaps foremost” plank of his mission, saying that Bolden was merely talking about his “outreach” responsibilities and that space exploration is still NASA’s No. 1 job.

Before Gibbs wants to attempt and back track on Bolden’s comments and try and save face for Obama, Robert Gibbs might want to first answer the question what in the HELL is a NASA official giving an interview to  Al Jazeera? What’s the matter  Al Jazeera did not have any terrorist beheading to report on and needed filler.

Check out the VIDEO interview for yourself … does it really seem like Bolden misspoke? The very first thing that Bolten says during the interview that he is there in the region as part of the first anniversary of Obama’s Cairo Speech known as the Cairo initiative and the new beginning between  the US and the Muslim world. The very reason why the NASA Administrator was there was the Obama/Muslim initiative. Misspoke, eh? Seriously America, do you honestly think that Bolden just made this stuff up?

Bolden did not misspeak, this was Obama’s mission to Mecca. The only problem was that once again Obama miscalculated the American people’s reaction to this insane craziness that we have sadly become all to accustomed to out of the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration has such disdain for the American people that they think they can say anything and further Obama’s agenda and when caught like this, just lie their way out of it.

Beware of  getting thrown under the Obama bus

Misspoke my eye … Welcome to Obama’s Muslim agenda and NASA’s mission to Mecca. The Obama Administration was once again caught spreading their far left, progressive agenda. Now for “The One” to mislead the American people, Obama needs some one to fall on their sword and get run over by the Obama bus.

Obama’s NASA Mission to Mecca … Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator Tells Al Jazeera that Obama Charged Him to Reach Out to Muslim World to Feel Good About Their Contributions to Science

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA … ALL THE WRONG STUFF …

When will the nonsense end with this President? BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S NASA MISSION TO MECCA .

 You ever wonder why things are as screwed up in America as they are under the Barack Hussein Obama Presidency? All we need to do is look at NASA administrator Charles Bolden comments regarding NASA’s purpose. Obama has brought us an immigration policy where he refuses to follow the rule of law against illegals, an economic stimulus plan that has failed to stimulate anything and now has NASA performing a feel good Muslim outreach.  UNREAL!

FIRST OF ALL WHAT IS A NASA OFFICIAL DOING TALKING TO AL JAZEERA!!! Is suddenly this media outlet considered main stream media and not a media vehicle for terrorism. What is going on with this President!

Under the Obama administration, the primary mission of NASA is to reach out to Muslim nations to make them feel better about their histotic contributions to science? ARE YOU JOKING! Not only should it not be a primary goal, it should not be any goal of NASA to do such political diplomacy. Bolden claimed his “foremost” mission as the head of America’s space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his “foremost” mission as the head of America’s space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

An Inconvenient Cancelation … Al Gore Blows Off Copenhagen Junk Science Appearance

Climategate … Al Gore and manipulated data and NASA, oh my!!!

It’s not easy being green, is it Al? Especially when the man-made global warming hoax is exploding all around us in the wake of Climate-gate and the revelation of the fraud and conspiracy to propagate the myth for fudge the data that the Earth has a temperature.

The Nopenhagen Conference is fading as Al “carbon offsets” Gore has cancelled his appearance at the even at the last minute. Gee All, what do you have to hide? Do you not want to have to answer any questions regarding the recent e-mails that were exposed showing the global warming fraud? Are the rats fleeing the sinking ship?

Former Vice President Al Gore on Thursday abruptly canceled a Dec. 16 personal appearance that was to be staged during the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which begins next week.

As described in The Washington Times’ Inside the Beltway column Tuesday, the multimedia public event to promote Mr. Gore’s new book, “Our Choice,” included $1,209 VIP tickets that granted the holder a photo opportunity with Mr. Gore and a “light snack.”

In the wake of Climategate, most Americans are extremely skeptical of the science behind global warming. Why would they think that with manipulated data and the fact that the scientists destroyed the original raw data? Once again the WH finds itself on the wrong side of the majority thinking. It would hardly appear to be settled science as per Americans.

Most Americans (52%) believe that there continues to be significant disagreement within the scientific community over global warming.
