Obama killed JFK's dream. We need to dream it again.

The first and last man to walk on the moon, along with one of the heroes of the Apollo 13 mission, repeat a theme I've hit on this blog for quite a while: the folly of President Obama's scuttling of our manned space program.

Constellation needs to be revived. The economy needs the kind of boost Mercury and Gemini and Apollo gave it.  Our national divisions and faltering self-image need the healing and strengthening the moon landing provided. And our place in the world will not be enhanced by abandoning the moon, Mars, and everything other than low orbit to the Chinese and the Japanese and the Indians- and the American private sector, which simply lacks the resources governments have.

Our very national security need it.
