Default By the end of the decade???

Got this in my email today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrSm-qMnhBg

It's from NASA regarding their achieving of the presidents goals for NASA.

Without getting too political, I wanted to hear other's responses. I am going to refrain from commenting right now to hear what others think.

I've always found that a picture is worth a thousand words.

The future will be Mad Max first, then later Star Trek.

As an often literalist, he stated some very modest goals, almost all of them already on the short term road map at the time, the agency operated under his branch of government is touting the "achievement" of those modest goals. As far as boxes checked, even the most skeptical have to admit that mostly happened, albiet with largely commercial funding.

Now, when it comes to value of money, labor participation rate, tax entanglement, ACA promises, vast expansion of welfare, well, that's another kettle of fish. Steaming as well.

No, his was better and more iconic. Yours was just rude.
