Non-existent American Space Adminisrtation

I’m sure many of you have heard and read about this new story, but for those of you who haven’t, pay close attention. The current administration is trying to feed us another mud pie and disguising it as cheesecake. They are methodically dismantling an institution (yes it’s crucial to society) that has been around for 52 years. Since its inception in 1958, NASA has been on the cutting edge of new technology. It has been the face of American ingenuity and sheer grit. But we all knew that already didn’t we? It has all turned to madness, and no we are not in Sparta. Not only has NASA been stripped of its former space faring glory, but it’s now been tarred and feathered. The current administration has given NASA’s administrator, Charles Bolden its 3 new priorities: re-inspire children to want to study science and math, expand our international relationships, and first and foremost, reach out and engage the Muslim world and help them feel good about their historic contribution to science…… Are you kidding me? NASA has officially been reduced to a cultural awareness training cite with lots of old rocket ships. They might as well hire Dr. Phil. I can’t even put to words how disgraceful this is. NASA employees are being laid off, entitlement programs are all the rage and they are watching their beloved program turn into a bonding group. Many of the innovations and technology leaps were because of NASA; and the reason they sought those achievements? To get into space! Now explain to me where the motivation is to research new technologies. As far as re-inspiring children to want to study math and science; I haven’t done much research, but since when are people interested in math and science in short supply? Last time I checked MIT was still hard to get into. The engineering program in my school is flourishing and I’m sure there are still kids who want to be an astronaut the first time they watch a shuttle race into space on TV (well I guess that wont happen anymore). Programs like the constellation program, which was designing new rockets to reach the moon and beyond, have been scrapped and in its place, unofficial diplomats wasting their time. This whole scenario is so backwards. I am convinced we are no longer even inching forward. America is being castrated. Next thing you know our military will become government Christmas carolers. It seems this administration creates its own epidemic problems out of thin air and in response is shutting down this country.
