WE HAVE GIVEN CONTROL OF SPACE TO RUSSIA & CHINA
Prior to the Obama regime the USA excercised greater control over Earth's Orbit (EO) and especially Low Earth Orbit ( LEO), than any other nation. Protecting the space around Earth is vital to our national security.
China and Russia already have the capability to attack our communication satellites. Iran and North Korea will have ICBMs within 5 years and nuclear warheads shortly thereafter. Controlling EO ia vital to Missle Defense.
For 50 years every President has understood the vital nature of our space program until Obama. Obama has gutted NASA by wrecklessly slashing budgets, eliminating critical programs and laying off vital scientists and engineers.
Of all the damaging decsions Obama has made regarding the space program, the retirement of the Space shuttle seems most irresponsible. The Space Shuttle gave the USA launch capability unmatched by other nations. Termination of the Space Shuttle without a replacement was self destructive and places us at the mercy of our enemies. Who believes China and Russia don't carefully examine our satellites before launching them?
The private sector initiatives that Obama touted to replace the Shuttle have born little fruit. I'm not sure it's wise to place national security in the hands of start ups.
The ability to launch frequently and reliably ( shuttle ) along with heavy lift capabilities ( big rockets ) are absolutely critical to maintaining control of EO and future ICBM Missle defense.
It's wise to continue investing in research and new technology to build a superior replacement to the Space Shuttle. Until we have that replacement we can use the Boeing X-37B and X-37C mini shuttles but we still need the heavy lift capabilities the shuttle provides. We must bring the Shuttle out of retirement and rehire the geniuses that built the world's preeminent space program that protected us so well for 50 years.
Please contact your Senators and Congressman and insist they support NASA and the Shuttle.
GOD bless you,
Jim Worrall
