nasa does way more things than just moon and shuttle missions
He didn't. It's something about stopping moon missions, and reforming NASA's goals towards other things.That's all I caught really
They had that shuttle to orbit pluto, didn't they?
In 2004 president Bush ordered NASA to end the shuttle program by 2010. Later it was extended to 2011. The idea was to use the money saved to build a newer and better space craft. NASA started a new program called constellation to build a capsule called CEV and rocket called Aries. Then president Obama ordered NASA cancel constellation and use private industry to supply Earth orbit flights. This has widely been reported as Obama canceling the U.S. space program, even though he increased NASA's budget and extended the space station several years past it's originally planned end. Private company SpaceX, which had already been participating in the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program, flew their new Dragon space craft on their Falcon 9 rocket in 2010. It will be ready for operational cargo flights next year and manned flights in a few more years, and at a lower cost than any space craft ever built. Meanwhile NASA has started work on a new capsule based on the CEV design, called the MPCV, and a new rocket based on the Aries, called the Space Launch Rocket, but it has yet to fly.
Nooo you loving brother!!!
NASA is NOT SHUT DOWN. NASA is launching a new Mars rover in fact in the next few months.
