Former astronauts Neil Armstrong, James Lovell and Eugene Cernan urged President Barack Obama to reconsider what they warn would be "devastating" new policies for the future of NASA.
Read their letter published on Tuesday April 13, 2009 here.
What do you think?
Have any budget suggestions that will keep the U.S. at the forefront of space technology? Are there technologies available that can keep rocket launches on the cheap?

Someone in the 70's said if we do not set up a permanent presence in space quickly, we never will. Reason being was energy, resources, and industrial infrastructure would be less in the future and we would keep cutting back until we were totally earth bound for the rest of history. As you can see, managers have figured out the cheapest way (robots) and after a few rounds of more cutbacks, there will be no reason for launches unless it is for satellites. Get ready for the "we can do everything from telescopes" approach.
