Obama Cancels NASA's Moon-Mars Program,
LaRouche Movement Calls for Colonizing the Solar System
Confirming the self-destruction drive of the U.S., NASA Administrator Charles Bolden announced late January that after the retirement of the Space Shuttle, planned for later this year, "either American commercial entities or foreign entities" will be taking people to the International Space Station. This would lead to a "debate about whether NASA needs astronauts," at all, he said, since the U.S. will not be flying a manned vehicle for a number of years.
Former NASA Administrator Mike Griffen denounced the ending of manned flight, calling it even worse than President Nixon's ending of the Apollo program. The "very existence" of the International Space Station, now 90% complete, will be held "hostage to the hope that presently nonexistent commercial spaceflight capability can be brought into being in a timely way." President Obama "has chosen to recommend that the nation abandon its leadership on the space frontier," Griffin concludes.
Kesha Rogers of the LaRouche Youth Movement, who is running for Congress in the district which is home to the NASA space center, also blasted the Obama policy. Privatize NASA?, she said. “Is that man really trying to give yet another bailout to Wall Street speculators?” All thinking Americans will reject this insane proposal, Rogers stated, because NASA must continue to be an economic driver for the nation. Any real economic recovery requires a mission to colonize the Moon and Mars. Shutting down those jobs, just to give more money to already bankrupt private interests, is committing national suicide.
“I concur with Lyndon LaRouche's characterization: if Obama follows through on this, he will be adopting the Rohatyn-Schultz model, which in their case funded private military corporations in place of our national military. Privatization is designed to kill the program, there will be no scientific advances, thus, no spin-offs. Privatization will eliminate the potential for scientific advance, and turn NASA into a plaything for a handful of rich people who want a space adventure.”
As a Democrat in the tradition of John Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt, said Rogers, I adamantly reject this decision, we must return to the course of scientific and technological progress. It is time to declare now our intention to have operative colonies on the Moon and Mars by 2050. We can only accomplish that the Constitutional way: with Federal credit directed through a protectionist national banking system, never by relying upon the good graces of free markets, cutting social safety nets, or taxing the American people to death.
