The space shuttle program equipment was OLD and obsolete in many respects by 2011--15 years longer service life than designed/anticipated. PLANNED retirement of the program long before the Obama administration. Remember the Challenger and Columbia disasters? Aging equipment could have caused another one. The U.S. is using the Russian space program because the shuttle replacement has been delayed for a number of reasons.

In 2008, Obama promised the folks around the cape that the space program would sutvive and there would be no drastic cuts. In 2010 he authorized 7000 layoffs (NASA) which resulted in another 7000 people losing their jobs around the area. That's 14000 total. Google NY Times Obama Lies - NASA.

Regardless of what was promised or not, the space shuttle program was on the way out, along with the jobs involved, before the Obama presidency. Look to Congress for delays in funding and contractors for delays in construction of replacement equipment. Without funding or equipment, NO JOBS anyhow.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Gemini

A little give and take goes a long way, so try to be flexible and malleable when dealing with others. It will also pay to ask people what they think rather than to make sweeping assumptions on their behalf, because you could be in for a surprise. A child may have some interesting information for you, or they could make a statement that really sets you thinking.
