0108 2010 Conservative Latino Talk Radio

0108 2010, Fri, June 24, Conservative Latino Talk radio is conservative talk from the Latino perspective. The source of the idiocy behind the Obama space plan to no where has been finally identified: it's Dr. Wesley T. Huntress. In an article by Space.com written as a thinly veiled cover story to promote the Obama plan to no where, it was revealed by long time space commentator James Oberg that Wesley Huntress was the author of the plan. Incidentally, former astronaut and Constellation killing Augustine committee member Leroy Chiao, said the Obama administration did not kill the Constellation program, an outrageous lie. I found an article written by the same James Oberg in which he interviewed Huntress. In that, Huntress, a planetary scientist, explains the reason we should not go back to the Moon and should kill Constellation is, "The old Constellation plan was to go back where we had once been, to do only marginally better than we did 40 years ago. It was neither inspirational nor sufficiently challenging for a space program as storied as America’s." This superficial reasoning is outdone by his next remark about space exploration in which he said, "Mars is where the American public really wants us to go, and we can give them a good game, just like we did with getting to the moon in the 1960s." For a scientist, not a teenager, this is astounding! He argues only that Constellation should be scrapped and not replaced because it's not cool! Worse yet he proposes we go to Mars, step by step, as technology develops. What technology?! What rockets?! This is pure lunacy! But that's the administration of our pal Barry: lunacy!
