The little dingleball's neo space race sucked up all the money in NASA gutting science budgets. But I'm sure they know where Mary Jane will grow on the space station. That might be good to know since the earth may soon be in such a disastrous state that we will need some to help us cope.
Obama's science advisor told the Associated Press that the Bush administration did not give NASA enough money to complete their moon landing mandate so the money came from other departments, including climate change to disastrous effect.
