NASA - Taking Pot Shots at the Moon

I guess this is what it's come to huh? In the face of a shrinking budget, and according to some (probably on the right), with little support from the Obama administration, NASA has gone rogue. No more grandiose Moon or Mars missions, they're just gonna take pot shots at the moon and see what they can scare up. It's kinda like the 2008 Mc Cain/Palin presidential campaign. And how did that work out for ya?
