Neil Armstrong moonwalker Obama man on the moon apollo 11 Eugene Cernan Apollo 13 cancel nasa back-to-moon program blasts first

  • The first man to walk on the moon blasted President Barack Obama’s decision to cancel NASA’s back-to-the-moon program on Tuesday, saying that the move is “devastating” to America’s space effort.
  • The most controversial part of the president's policy is the cancellation of the Constellation program, which was aimed at developing a new generation of Ares rockets and Orion spacecraft to send astronauts into Earth orbit and beyond.
  • Obama administration determined that the Constellation program could not fulfill NASA's goals on the required timetable.

  • The letter notes that the U.S. space effort will be dependent for years to come on the Russians for transport to the International Space Station, at a cost of more than $50 million per seat.
  • Armstrong and his colleagues complained that the cancellation would amount to wasting the roughly $10 billion that has been allocated to Constellation over the past five years.
  • "America must decide if it wishes to remain a leader in space," the astronauts said. "If it does, we should institute a program which will give us the very best chance of achieving that goal.
  • The fact that Armstrong, arguably the world's most famous living astronaut, has now spoken out against NASA's change of plans is likely to focus additional attention on the debate over America's future in space.
  • On the other side of the debate, the most outspoken Apollo-era advocate of NASA's new policy is the man who was Armstrong's co-pilot for the first moon landing: Buzz Aldrin.

      i find this interesting how the first two men on the moon, co-pilots, respond with such dichotomy when considering this topic.

  • When America's space shuttle program ends in September, the U.S. will be completely dependent on Russian rockets for launching men and women into space -- and bringing them back. But what will happen to America's astronauts if relations between the U.S. and Russia sour?

  • The standard 28-day primary treatment program is sufficient for clients entering the recovery process; however, research shows statistically higher success rates for clients who spend additional time in a structured step-down program, such as an extended-care residential facility or 3/4- or 1/2-way transitional house
  • Many clients who have shown positive progress and a sincere desire to remain clean and sober while in treatment have relapsed on the trip home or during the first few days out of treatment.

      The changes a person may experience during treatment might be deeply personal and intense. Considering most treatment settings are probably based in relaxing, safe surroundings, it is not a surprise to me that someone would find themselves struggling as early as the flight back home. I think this is probably common due to the nature of the raw realities a person might face upon leaving treatment in recovery. Lifestyle changes can be pivotal & positive experiences, although, I'm sure they can also be challenging, and quickly regressive if a solid transitional plan is not intact and followed.
