Obama's space plan is untenable. Whaaa?
Almost 50 years after President Kennedy proposed sending a man to the moon "before this decade is out," Obama has set an equally improbable goal. He has proposed a 2025 date for NASA to land humans on an asteroid, a ball of rock hurtling around the sun.

In February, Obama took steps toward killing Bush's moon program, which was beset by technical troubles and money woes. Two months later, in a speech at Cape Canaveral, Obama announced that the astronauts' next stop is an asteroid.
If there was a reason, means, or motivation to make this happen, it might be worth worrying about. But this BS is even a bigger pipe dream than universal coverage on Obama-care. It ain't never gonna happen.
