  1. What an embarrassment NASA has become. They’ve gone from 60s/70s worldwide rockstars to whiny government bureaucrats trying to justify their very existence. Cut their funding, cut their funding, cut their funding.

  2. So NASA has to study earth science since sea level affects space exploration. If there were a global nuclear war it would affect NASA exploration too. Who are the NASA Secretary of Defense and the NASA Secretary of State? If there were no government spending on education, it might ultimately inhibit NASA exploration as well. Does this justify NASA research and spending in education?

  3. When will they rename the Kennedy space center the Gaia ashram center for commie junk science.
    The reflex of this NASA mook when pressured over his artificial function and redundant sinecure was to throw out a typical Alinski scare tactic – like as if the Oceans will destroy America if the ensconced Dem cronies in NASA lose their sinecure. What verbal deficating – it shows there needs to be a big broom sweeping out the welfare science deadwood in NASA and replace them with engineers and astrophysics scientists to put it back on track – Mars and other planets hold the key to understanding the universe and maybe solving some problems on earth – but Alinski-commie mundanity has reduced the space agency to a weather station which gives inaccurate reports.
    We really shouldn’t be surprised the Alinski regime running the Whitehouse has degenerated NASA into a entitlement camp for junk scientists who are willing to rubber stamp commie “big lie” global political agendas.

  4. What drivel. Bolden would have us forget about Vandenburg. He would also have us forget that the US isn’t going anywhere now anyway except via Baikonur and the Russian Soyuz program. And who was it let the Shuttle dwindle into obsolescence without replacement? Oh yeah, Clinton, Bush II and Obama.

  5. James Hansen,Al Gore and David Suzuki need to be all starnded on a island along with Obama

  6. This article came from “Mashable”. Who the heck is Mashable. Did anybody read the comments with the article. What a bunch of ignorant political hacks. I know that everybody is entitled to their political opinion, but their “facts” and supporting information are just wrong. I guess this is what we are going to get from the whiney libruls when they are sent down the tubes by the electorate. It looks like the libs are going to louse another source of indoctrination funding.

  7. Actually it was remarkable that in the comments none of the WATERMELON loons yelled RACIST………

  8. Sigh. And Charlie used to be a good Marine, but either being an astronaut fried his brains or he drank the Kool Aid.

  9. “Can’t go anywhere if the space center is underwater. What a joke. The’re not going anywhere now! Not unless they take a cramped Russian bus like they have been for the past 3 years.

  10. There have been no (zero, nada, none) rocket launches, either manned or unmanned, from KSC since the last Shuttle launch (Atlantis… now in a museum at KSC). All Florida launches, both civilian and military, originate from Cape Canaveral Air Station (operated by the USAF not NASA).

  11. Well, Having lived north east of Jacksonville Fla. on the edge of the river once long ago I can state for a fact every time it rains Florida is under water.
    It always pops back up though after the water runs off and dries up.

  12. NASAs current thrust is to make Muslims feel good about themselves. Why is no one asking why they aren’t doing a better job for the repressed, opposed, and useless little brown gits?

  13. As a child I’d get up at any hour of the night or early morning to watch those Gemini/Apollo/Shuttle launches and now you tell me that their purpose was to watch and solve AGW. Damn…I feel like I’ve been gypped!!
    It’s time NASA was returned to its original purpose.

  14. When NASA gets huge capital appropriations based on studying ‘climate change’ what is the expectations of their findings? Something about not dipping into my rice bowl.
    NASA has been a politically driven entity back to the Mercury and Gemini programs. They always had to run a PR campaign to keep the funds coming. Today they find the ‘global warming’ scam a convenient fund raiser that is ongoing.

  15. I would ask the good scientist if he understands the affect Plate tectonics has on sea level measurements. The science is available for the eastern seaboard.

  16. They have fudged with the data and faked the news claiming last year was the hottest on record LIES,LIES,LIES, the entire enviroemntal moviement consisits of LIES yeah Racheal Carson LIED about DDT and Al Gore and James Hansens lied about Climate Change of just call it MANBEARPIG CLIMATE CHANGE a phonie thoery based ona phonie monster rate it right up there with PILTDOWN MAN,AL CAPONES VUALTS,THE TASKIDA TRIBE, and the DYNO-BIRD all later to be proven phonies

  17. “We can’t go anywhere if the Kennedy Space Center goes underwater and we don’t know it…”
    Pro tip, Charlie: if the Space Center goes underwater, your feet will get wet. So you’ll know it alright.

  18. The Americans can’t even put a man into space anymore. They have to rely on the Russians. If they and the Russians were going to simultaneously launch a manned space craft to Mars, I would probably take the Russian space ship as they have more relevant manned space experience than the Americans.
    The Americans would be a bit rusty and outdated with recent experience as I don’t believe they have put a man in space for at least a decade or so.
    But on the other hand if you wanted to fudge some temperature data the Americans are Masters at that.

  19. It started with Challenger, after the “we’re so damn good” virus set in and then bit them hard – 7 dead and a vehicle in tiny pieces. Fixed that, mostly, but now we’ve got the PC crowd screwing with the techies. Knock it off, already.

  20. I see NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICS getting a little upset with skeptics who scoff at Evolution,global warming and such after all they prined about the dynobird in their November 1999 issue(Feathers for T-Rex)which was soon exposed asa total fake the Tasida Tribe(by Philipean President Corazan Acino)and lied about the plight of Pararie Dogs
