White Man on the Moon

Alright, so Obama cancels Bush's Moon Mission Mark II. But instead of actually saving gadzillions of badly needed dollars, he puts the money towards more exploration.

It's not because there is no song titled "Black President on Mars" that that makes it any more right...

It's worse: The details suggest that the budget plan is not only to expand space exploration, but privatize it, with NASA paying private space flight firms (that have largely failed to get off the ground, literally, so far) for tickets to outer space. Space flight is important for certain types of scientific investigation, but this is not the way to do it, or to pay for it.
