Asteroid Capture Mission Widely Seen As A 'Distraction' For The Agency
Speaking at the “Humans 2 Mars Summit,” which was held May 6-8, 2013 at George Washington University, NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden stated that if another administration (or perhaps the Congress) steps in and says do a mission to the Moon, “…it’s game over! …we’re back to square one.” In other words if anyone at any time in the future deviates from the Obama plan for human spaceflight, NASA has to start all over again. We will thus be finished as a spaceflight nation- it’ll be a disaster, doom, toads raining from the sky, dogs and cats living together, MASS HYSTARIA!
