Keep in shooting for the moon Earlier this week, the Obama administration released their proposed 2011 budget, and there are two items that are very disturbing for the economy of this area. President Obama’s budget plans to cut the funding for the Constellation project and the Ares I rocket. The Constellation project was started by President George W.

The Ares I rocket would replace the aging space shuttle program and be used to shuttle supplies and astronauts to the International Space Station. |
