The GOP Space Program: To boldly go where Obama didn't want to.
I liked Obama's space plan to send astronauts to a near earth asteroid. It would be historic as the first to an asteroid, and the farthest any human has ever traveled from earth. We would establish mining rights and shake up commercial space law. We would learn important lessons that could one day help us stop an incoming threat. The far weaker gravity well makes return launch vastly easier.
But no, if it was Obama's idea let's can it and boldly go where we have already gone before.
