Obama blows up the moon:

Freepers rage at Obama for not going back on Bush's cancelation of the shuttle program. And they waxed particularly dramatic as the final shuttle flight came to a close.

hoagy62 is sad.

The US manned space program ends in a little more than 2 hours.
May our ancestors and our descendants forgive us.

Carl LaFong is pretty sure Muslims are involved:

Now NASA can start it’s new important Obama ordained mission:National
Assistance for Sharia Administration

Truth29 knows without NASA, America is gonna go socialist:

Obama must be orgasmic. The ending of an American dream is a huge step toward
his remaking of America into a "workers paradise" which is focused on
redistribution, dependency and making the US subservient to a dream of an
Islamic socialist world.

Truth29 expounds on how going to space has kept us capitalist:

Another reason to get rid of Obama in 2012. The symbolism of the US retreat from space cannot be overestimated. This is a great day for Obama who believes the world will be a better place with the US brought down to the level of the rest of the world. The Russians won the space race, after all.

So that's their flag on the moon?

JohnBovenmyer ses a supicious date. Well, it's a day earlier, but he can totally play with time zones:

Obama's LSM will claim the end doesn't fall on the anniversary of Neil's
step and as American's remember things he'll get by with it.

BUT his anti-American cheering sections around the world will claim that the END does fall on the anniversary. And if they count time by UTC, as already does the Wiki on Apollo 11, they'd have both fall on July 21st under UTC.

A coincidence? I think not!

"Hey, weather? This is Obama. Could you keep clear on the 20th so I can bring the space shuttle down on the date I specify? I'll make sure gravity and NASA agree as well."

Eye of Unk also thinks the space race kept making us great well after the moon landing:

I am just plain sad of the amount of hope has been lost since Obama took office, really its basically the morale of America that is being destroyed here.
Kennedy gave us a goal, to be the first to the moon. It built our nation, gave us unity, pride and levels of achievement unheard of.

Obama takes it away.

mcmuffin is super thrilled Obama didn't get to see the launch

One tiny sweet (and predictable) consolation was the last minute shuttle Endeavor
launch delay April 29 as Obama was flying in with his brood to watch it. That
absolutely made my day. I actually hollered with joy!

Space Shittle Launches are for Real Americans, Obama! You stay away!

catfish1957 is a bit dramatic:

The tombstone reads:
