In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower established National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to encourage peaceful, civilian (rather than military) applications in aeronautics and aerospace research.
NASA is an independent agency of the executive branch, meaning the current president gets to set its agenda.
- In 1961, President John F. Kennedy told NASA to go to the moon.
- In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon directed NASA to shift its attention to developing an entirely new type of space transportation system, a reusable Space Shuttle.
- In 1984, President Ronald W. Reagan directed NASA to build a Space Station.
- In 1990, President George H. W. Bush chartered a committee which recommended NASA aim for a balanced space program that included human space flight, robotic probes, space science, applications, and exploration, all within a tightly constrained budget.
- In 2010, President Barack H. Obama told NASA to focus on inspiring children to get into science and math, reaching out to Muslims to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering, and making up crap to pimp the administration’s energy killing climate change agenda.
Hoo-Rah! THAT is all about to change.
- First off, President-Elect Donald J. Trump is a climate change skeptic. This does not mean that he thinks the climate naturally stays the same. Everyone knows it doesn’t. What it means is that he doesn’t believe that man’s activities affect our climate and therefore that the punishing energy regulations the climate change activists have been foisting on us for 8 years should go away.
- Secondly, President-Elect Trump thinks an organization called the National Aeronautics and Space Administration should, you know, engage in aeronautic and space exploration. What a concept!
