I checked out the link. Romney is so far off base he could be called clueless.

I would say to him "Sir, Google 'SpaceX' and 'Elon Musk'"

There IS a corporation in America that wants to go to the Moon and Mars - it's SpaceX and they are doing NOW what no private corporation has EVER done for a FRACTION of the money that it takes for NASA to do the same thing (and I've been a lifelong fan of NASA in most aspects).

I wonder if Governor Romney has even HEARD of SpaceX - much less know that they are the only company that has EVER launched a vehicle, had it orbit the earth and been recovered after splashdown. Their Dragon capsule will be going to the Internation Space Station in March on a supply run and NASA has given them money to upgrade that capsule so that it is MAN-RATED and can REPLACE the RUSSIAN seats that we have to buy to get to/from the station.
