The nation's Commander-In-Chief is now officially an Obamanaut.
In an Oval Office photo op Tuesday at the White House, President Obama slipped into a royal blue NASA Astronaut jacket with crew patches from the shuttle's last two missions, STS-134 and STS-135, as well as STS-1, STS-31 (the Hubble Space Telescope deployment mission) and STS-104 (an International Space Station assembly mission).
The name patch on the jacket says "Barack Obama" and "President Of The United States of America."
The coat was presented to the president by Janet Kavandi, Director of the Flight Crew Operations Directorate at NASA's Johnson Space Center, who flew as a mission specialist on STS-104.
In the background (left to right) are members of the STS-135 crew, pilot Doug Hurley, mission specialist Sandra Magnus, mission commander Chris Ferguson and mission specialist Rex Walheim.
NASA's 135th and final shuttle flight launched July 8 and landed July 21.

Total lies concerning man able to survive going to Mars. It would take a wall of water enveloping the spacecraft at least several meters thick, to protect the occupants from deadly cosmic rays. http://news.discovery.com/space/mission-to-mars-health-risks-110718.html
Doesn't it appear that all of NASA's posts are so glamorous and seeming well-intentioned? Think again. They have an agenda to militarize space with their warmongering technology, at the expense of our atmospheric envelope and all life that depends upon our 'ocean of air'.
At NASA's environmental cleanup page,
http://www.ssc.nasa.gov/environmental/cleanup/clean.html, it says, "We take full responsibility for any problems caused by past practices and ensuring the protection of the environment and the health of the surrounding community."
That's all well and good, now what about the ongoing SOLID ROCKET FUEL program? Is this present technology ensuring the protection of the environment?
Here is the censored TRUTH of how NASA really salutes its veterans:

Float to space instead of rocketing there, and accomplish everything at a mere 25 miles altitude that was being done, 14X further, at 350 miles out.
Even the Space Station and Hubble Telescope would operate better at this altitude. Why? Because the highly toxic SOLID FUEL ROCKET BOOSTERS are left out of the equation.
Also, documentation of how Nazi turned into NASA, and still continues to wage war upon our environment.
What does HELEN CALDICOTT have to say about this ongoing insanity...endorsed by Obama?
