The White House apparently plans to allow other nations to have some form of control over the US space program? Can this really be true? This is a ridiculous proposal. Can you imagine a spaceship designed by a committee? How much longer do you think it would take to make any progress on space programs with a lot of nations being involved? Remember how long it took only to do the negotiations on construction of the Space Station?
If true, the plan would accomplish two things: (1) reduce the amount of money and commitment we need to apply to space programs, and (2) delaying the program so that the spending amount is even further reduced (so that more money can be spent of liberal welfare boondoggles! )
Finally, this is another example of where we will get into a position of giving away more space technology that we have accumulated over the years with blood, sweat, tears, and great financial cost. Now we will just give it away and no doubt our enemies will also get their hands on it?
Write or call your congressman and let she or he know how you feel about this policy.

WHY INTERNATIONAL CONTROL OF GPS?
The Obama administration apparently plans to allow international control of the commercial version of the Global Positioning System. If true, this is a dangerous release of technology, originally developed by the US Air Force. This policy, if implemented, could result in the theft of technology by unscrupulous persons or countries at the least, and sabotage at the worst. Why in the world does the US always want to give away technology? Lately the Internet has come under international control, and now the GPS system.
This is another example of liberal politics that likes to lick the boots of other nations in order to gain some imagined good will. We are digging ourselves a giant hole if we continue to give away our technology to foreign countries, some of whom are not really our friends and someday may use our own technology in a cold or even hot war against us! Examples; both Venezuela and Iran have US built fighter aircraft and they are still flying these planes. Imagine what these countries have learned from the reverse engineering of our weapons over the years.
Lets hope that some sanity prevails. Write or call your congressman.
