I guess we should ask Bill!

Ron, Greenville, SC — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:49:07 GMT

Just because we send robots into space instead of humans doesn't necessarily mean the jobs go away, does it? I mean, it's not like most of the jobs at risk are astronauts, right?

Seems reasonable that we would send a robot up to do what a man could, and potentially save money and lives...maybe I'm missing something?

I would say this is a continuation of grasping. It's like when faced with the debacle that is the Iraq war G.W. Bush started talking about Mars missions. Completely irrelevant. Same applies here.

Bill Clinton knows his wife didn't score the direct hit needed in last night's debate nor did her opponent mess up. Now it's damage control until Tues.

Aerospace Engineer in Florida — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:53:45 GMT

More pandering and fear mongering from the Clintons.

The manned space travel we are doing right now is wasteful and inefficient, other than the work on the ISS. We can gather far more information at far less cost by using robotics. Some of the new landers and rovers are simply amazing in what they can do.

We can send multiple missions to Mars, Saturn and Jupiter's large moons, our moon, asteroids, comets, and other locations for as much as it would cost to send a set of people back to the moon. While sending men to the moon again would give us some valuable information and samples, it would be a limited excursion. Where as the Martian rovers have been in operation for years now, still on the move, still sending data, and still providing significant information.

Those jobs wouldn't be lost, and he knows it. He's just using fear tactics. Those jobs would still be there, whether or not we are sending multiple rovers and orbiters into space on multiple missions, or a set of people on a single mission.

SharonAustinTX — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:02:08 GMT

Let's get the media to research this claim, or at least check it out by getting a response from Obama. Put it in context ... and the statement isn't even a bad thing. Innovation is always good -- look at all the possibilities.

I, too, don't believe the desparate attacks of Bill Clinton. It reminds me of how he was impeached by lieing to the grand jury. Is this someone we should trust because he is a former President? I think not.

As far as things being better in the 90's, well he's probably correct. Anything that came before Bush would be better. But that doesn't mean that it was as good as it could have been if we as a country weren't mobilized for a year+ with the Lewinsky and other scandals. My advise to Bill Clinton is: step back and not embarras Hillary's campaign any further.

Bill: To the moon, Barack!

Vickie, Westchester New York — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:06:05 GMT

I think Obama should be grateful everyday that he has had to run against someone like Clinton in this campaign. He would not be the candidate he is without her. I think Clinton knows she has lost, and is doing what is good for the democratic party by running hard after Obama. Because if he can't stand up to the baby attacks he is getting from the Clinton campaign...well he better just give up. You can believe the Republican Party is gearing up BIG TIME to go after Obama. They will use everything and anything. As you can see just from Yesterday. Obama has to stand up to that. He should come out and say "I'm proud of my middle name, I'm proud that my middle name is the same as our staunches ally in the mideast King Hussein of Jordan" His staff can't go crying foul when they see a picture of him in tribal clothing. He has to own that, why shouldn't he be proud of his heritage.

This is not desparation! He was addressing a crowd to which this topic means something. Perhaps the space program means nothing to any of you but I'm sure to the people in close proximity to the Johnson Space Center appreciated what he said. What's the problem? Can't the former presidenit speak without being jumped? And for your information President Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar and a J.D. so PhD's have nothing on him. And another thing, the 90's were great! I'm sick and tired of all you ungrateful Obama followers. Where was Obama when Bill Clinton was running the country and fighting the Republicans at the same time. Support Obama if you want but there's no need to tear down anyone who doesn't. You are the ones dividing the party.

Now people who believe the Space Program is truly the biggest policy difference and the most important issue in front of: terrorism, corruption, the national debt, and the 'overall' economy...you know lost jobs due to NAFTA...('member Billy??), we can elect a leader whose husband now cares about jobs staying in America AND the all important and urgent Space Programs.

Jason, Alexandria, VA — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:12:18 GMT

I follow the space program just a little bit, but I am pretty sure we send up far more robotic flights than manned. And given that most of those employed are production and support, not astronauts, wouldn't increased robotic spaceflight create and increase jobs as well? In fact, if you count the people involved in the robotic and computer development, it might be even higher. It takes more people to build and prep an automated system to go into space than it does to train an astronaut crew. Finally, the frequency of robotic space flight is far greater than the rare manned launches.

Really doesn't seem very logical. I agree with an earlier poster that refers to this as fear mongering. Wow.

I agree with Obama. Robotic space travel is the way to go. Just look at all the two Mars rovers have done, and are still doing. If you did that with people it would cost at least 50 times as much, and we probably wouldn't get nearly as much useful data anyway.

While Hillary complains about Obama taking pages out of the Karl Rove dirty play book Bill continues to use the 'fear tactics' that Rove and republicans have relyed on since 9/11. It is obvious Bill has lost his touch for spinning phrases and words and obvious he is costing Hillary votes. When this is all over on March 4th Hillary can thank Bill for loosing the nomination for her.

Bill Clinton said he'd cancel the space station program if we didn't do it with the Russians. Then he sent billions of NASA dollars to help support the Russian space industry...and military industry, since they are one and the same. In essence, he exported American aerospace jobs to Russia, made us dependent on our adversaries for space operations, and propped up their space weapons industry when it was collapsing. Thanks Bill. You were just great for the U.S. space program and Houston....blew us out of the water and made us dependent on our enemies.

wouldn't R&D into robotic space travel actually increase Jobs? And won't the astronauts simply get re-assigned? even if they get fired, how many jobs is that? definitely not 14000.

Increased R&D into robotics will increase the knowledge base of the area and employees as well.

WASHINGTON -- Georgia Congressman John Lewis told WSB-TV Channel 2's Monica Pearson Wednesday that he is switching his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama.

Pearson met with Congressman John Lewis Wednesday afternoon in Washington. She was the only Atlanta TV reporter Lewis spoke to about his switch.

Talk had been swirling that Lewis might switch his endorsement from Clinton to Obama. Lewis is a superdelegate who will cast his ballot at the Democratic National Convention.

Lewis told Pearson he was switching his support because his district voted for Obama and he believes Americans are looking for a great change. He also said he had not spoken to Clinton or Obama about his decision.

Please refresh this developing story for updates. Watch Channel 2 Action News at 5 & 6 for more on Monica Pearson's interview with Lewis.

The Planetary Society, to which I belong, and other scientifically based organizations believe that manned missions divert funds from the more productive un-manned missions. There is very little difference in the jobs created and it is not supposed to be a corporate welfare program. There are emotional reasons to prefer manned missions but not scientific or economical reasons. Did Bill just pull this one out of his astro? What the next, the huge difference of Obama preferring blue M&Ms over red ones?

Mr Mcain has all lobbysist working for him ,if he gets in it will be politics as usual. big money for lobbysist and politicians to enrich themselves first., and worry about the people later. Sorry both parties operate the same take care of themselves first and worry about the people later...No im convinced if I dont vote change it will be four more years of the same just new faces and that politcs will continue as it is now. 29 percent rating of congress what do i have to lose.....Nothing......

Lynn Shine, NJ — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 19:06:21 GMT

I think its pretty pathetic of all of these Obama supporters to praise every thing he says and does, EVEN when its in-accurate and down right ignorant of him. Hilliary cannot do anything right, the media spins everything she does as a negative the so-called impartial analyst, correspondents and moderators' are so pathetically partial and they always end on either a bad comment about Hilliary or a good comment on Barack. I personally do not think Barack is a bad guy, but I do not think he truly understands what it takes to get things done in Washington and I do not believe he has the experience or knowledge of many issues to the depths that Hilliary does to be a good President, at least right now anyway. I also think its disgusting how this is so obviously a Black/White race, blacks that do not even know what the issues are are or what both candidates stand for are voting for Barack just because he is black and that is a disgrace and an injustice to selecting the next person to be President. He has young college kids that know nothing about the past and whats really going on they are just mesmerized by his words. The biggest claim he hangs on is that he did not vote for the war. So what! He also was not privy to the same information and did not have to vote. If I had received a report from the President with statements from Collin Powell stating that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and plans to use them on the US, I would have voted for the war too and so I say in lieu of those things, Obama was pretty cowardly not voting for war under those circumstances. In addition, he didn't vote for the war, but he continually voted to continue spending for the war, where is the difference???? All I can say is stop being mesmerized by nice voice tone and uprising speeches, he is simply not qualified and if he goes up against McCain he will lose so unless you want another Republican, which we cannot afford, in the White House, you should vote for Hillary!

As much as I honor, admire, and respect Bill, I think he should have realized that as good as the 90's were, people do not wanna go back in time. They wanna go forward. The last guy who ran on a nostalgia campaign for decades past, the man who wanted to build a bridge to the past, to the 50's was the man he landslided in 1996, who was Bob Dole. This kind of campaign never works.

With Russia and China on the verge of launching national manned space programs to the Moon and Beyond it is important that the US preserves its manned spaceflight capability. This includes development of the new constellation class vehicles which will replace the shuttle. These same craft can also reach the Moon and Mars in varying configurations.

However, indeed the focus should for the near term be on ISS and robotic missions. Keep manned spaceflight moving ahead but make the most out of what we can do with probes first. Robotics are only getting better. Soon enough we should be able to send very human like robotics like the Honda Asimo (? spelling), give it 2 - 3 decades.

There is significant importance in eventually colonizing space (the seas will boil in less than 1 million years due to changes in the sun), but 1 million years in 1 million years. We can worry about that 100 years from now.

It is too bad all the supporters cannot take all the things being said on both sides a little less personal. Hillary is trying to find something that will get her more votes. That is what she is supposed to do. Barack is doing the same. This is politics. Some of you people act like you have just graduated from JR high and are discovering how our system works for the first time. Grow up and stop with the demeaning remarks.

Oh and by the way, nice try at attacking Obama's policy for NASA (at least he's more of a realist on the subject than Hillary is). ...Just realize there are mega-space industry folks that support Obama. So now you can go home Bill, but make sure you take Hillary and Chelsea with you, because no one buys nor appreciates the fear-mongering, except maybe for the intellectually challenged !

"Hillary has always supported the manned space program just as I did when I was president," he told a crowd of over 250 who gathered in a picturesque neighborhood park in a Houston suburb today. "Her opponent says we should downgrade man space travel and upgrade robotic travel."

Me:
Bill, if you want to spin things.. please don't be too technical, you bust yourself.
Manned space program is very limited space coverage, life threatening and also very very expensive, which lead to launch number limitation and less job.

While robotic space program is very interesting, it creates new mechatronic jobs, opens new space frontiers, and encourages new rocket energy alternatives.

When will people wake up? What really happened on 911? The people of America was sound to sleep. What if we understood that perhaps muslims might be serious about world domination? What if they were slowly putting together a plot? What if they had sleeper cells? What if they allowed us to train them to be pilots? What if we allowed them to own gas stations all across America? Hey lets also train them to be tractor trailer drivers hauling tankers filled with gas. Lets see... why we are at it lets go ahead and allow one of them to become President. I think americans have been lulled into a coma. How many times have you heard the phrase dum americans? We have opened all doors. There is know way out of this one folks. Americans smile and say, "He is so cute and he speaks well, it will not matter if he has NO knowledge of how things work.... and he keeps on moving his hands as if he really understands and he has.....well look at him he IS SOOO popular it's like high school all over again yeah....oohhh whats his name uuhh osama yeah vote him in.

Looking at the whole picture, we need to be prepared, as a country, and a people, to withstand further attack from those who seek to destroy our country from without and perhaps those who have crossed over the borders and are within. Our military is stretched thin, and we need to stick together in this country, fast and pray before it is too late. Pray that our new president is strong and faithful to all of us in this country.

Never. I've heard "Dumb Americans", but that would be different. Unless you're a dumb American. Honestly, if you're going to try to work Dumb American into some pretentious racist ant-Muslim rant, then at least learn how to spell DUMB. Who cares what his name means? I'm not electing a name. I'm electing a person, and could care less what my President's name means, or what his religion is. Your post is beyond idiotic. What if Christians are plotting to take over the world? What if Catholics have sleeper cells? What if we allow dumb racists to own gas stations or drive tanker trucks? What if cults of old white guys are slowly putting together a plot?

Oh, and it's "While we're at it." not "why we are at it". Wake up, you're late for your 3rd grade spelling class.
