Obama started the retirement of the space shuttle program in July, 2011. After all, America could not be allowed to be "exceptional'..
That, and he had to dig up $155 billion somewhere to give to the terrorists !

I guess NASA has never quite gotten over Obama. They seem to be fixated on robotic probes now.
We no longer hear very much about the Orion spaceship anymore. It's all SpaceX and a couple of
others these days. The Moon and Mars? That's still just a lot of talk.
Hopefully by this time next year the Crew Falcon will be ready to fly. The heavy Falcon rocket has
alteady proven itself. And is better than what the Russians and China have. As far as heavy lift capabilities. Which is a good thing, it gives Americans back some of the pride they lost because of Obama.
