Yes, which is why [Hussein] ended the Shuttle Program and destroyed most of NASA's research and gutted it. It also allowed for untold and probably hard to calculate grift, not to mention the holding back of whatever technologies the eggheads at NASA, Skunkworks, Raytheon, and others created or reverse engineered from those downed crafts we all know about.
The Space Shuttle program was ended because of the Columbia disaster in 2003, when subsequent analysis established that the system was inherently unsafe. It is nonsense to say Obama destroyed research and gutted NASA. NASA had squandered 30 years in failing to develop a follow-on system. It is probably also true that Obama was interested in scuttling U.S. capability in various areas, such as terminating (with prejudice) the production of the F-22 air superiority fighter and canceling/scrapping the successful YAL-1A airborne laser. None of this had anything to do with "soft releases of advanced Tesla technology."

Is a mission to mars the excuse Trump and Elon have for soft releases of advanced Tesla technology?
