500 million for a dead rocket program

NASA's Ares rocket dead, but Congress lets you pay $500 million more for it

WASHINGTON — Thanks to congressional inaction, NASA must continue to fund its defunct Ares I rocket program until March — a requirement that will cost the agency nearly $500 million at a time when NASA is struggling with the expensive task of replacing the space shuttle.

Another $500 billion, about $500 per taxpayer, down the drain due gross incompetence.

Ah, but all will be better when the new Congress gets seated! Sure, it will.

Why you give them a chance before making judgement?

I didnt vote for Obama but a gave him the benefit of doubt until he confirmed what a douche he really is.

The shuttle is the REAL boondoggle.

This isn't Obama, but the Congress.

I need to correct the figures some: I posted $500 billion, which is wrong, it's $500 million

Still, $500 milion here, another $500 million there, pretty soon we've wasted some real money.
