sorry Salty, the point was that we now have a president that has decided that every thing will be done HIS way, he willl determine what our future is(hope you've caught a listen to his speeches over the last three days) and he will even charge the head of NASA with the priority of outreach to the worldwise muslims...as if one has anything to do with the other...this follows the dismantling of what NASA "should" be doing and creating more unemployed Americans

Huge Job Losses After Shuttle Program Ends, NASA HintsThe Associated Press in Miami, Florida

More than 8,000 NASA contractor jobs in the United States' manned space program could be eliminated after the space shuttle program is shut down in 2010, the U.S. space agency said Tuesday.

NASA Job Loss Bigger Than First Thought

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- The job outlook on the space coast may be even worse than first thought. Originally, NASA predicted it would lay off 3,500 workers at Kennedy Space Center when the shuttle fleet retires.

However, that prediction has gone up to at least 4,000 employees. KSC's new director raised eyebrows with his newest prediction that NASA would layoff 4,000 employees, 400 more than the number NASA gave in October of last year.

"The job impact is likely to keep growing," said Dale Ketchum, UCF Spaceport Technology and Institute.


but at least we can reassure the newly unemployed that we'll be helping the muslims around the world with their self-esteem issues...maybe there will be new jobs for translators
