Sen. David Vitter, R-La., on Wednesday blasted the Obama administration’s proposed 2011 NASA budget as a “radical” retreat that will surrender America’s leadership in space.
“I believe this budget and the vision it represents would end our human space flight program as we know it and would surrender for our lifetime and perhaps forever our world leadership in this area and in so doing would lose all the enormous benefits of the technological advantage that goes with it,” said Vitter, the top Republican on the Senate Commerce Committee’s Science and Space Subcommittee.
“You don’t accomplish great things without a clearly defined mission, and this budget has no clearly defined mission,” said Vitter, noting that his own 12-year-old twins, Lise and Airey, would rate the president’s space priorities as “so last week.”
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden Jr., said that the Bush administration’s plan to return astronauts to the moon might have sounded visionary but had been under-financed to the point of making the objective meaningless.
“A vision without resources is a hallucination,” Bolden told Vitter. “Prior to 2010, we had a hallucinatory budget.”
Vitter said that “resources without vision is a waste of time and money, and I think that’s what this budget represents.”
Vitter, who also is concerned about the impact on jobs at the Michoud facility in eastern New Orleans, which produces the space shuttle’s external fuel tanks, faulted the new budget for “not only ending the shuttle but completely canceling its replacement, the Constellation, with little more than a hope and prayer that commercial providers will eventually pick up the slack.”
Bolden choked up when he was asked by Vitter what he would say says to members of the “NASA family” who may lose their jobs because of the new budget.
But, Bolden said, “if you gave me infinite resources I could not get a human to Mars within the next 10 years because there are some things we just don’t know.”

Juvenile’s time in the studio was interrupted by a trip to jail on Thursday. The New Orleans rapper was in a house that he uses as a recording studio in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, when police stopped by to investigate an anonymous tip that the smell of marijuana smoke was coming from the house.
Police say that when they arrived, they could smell the smoke from as far as 10 feet away. When Juvenile’s producer Leroy Edwards, 42, opened the door, the authorities say they were greeted with a cloud.
Officers searched Edwards, found marijuana on his person and he was handcuffed immediately. Police detained the other people in the house, including Juvenile, for about two hours while they obtained a search warrant.
Once the warrant was executed, officers found a bag containing half an ounce to one ounce of marijuana in the kitchen area. According to the authorities Juvenile, who was eating at the time of the police’s visit, acknowledged that the bag was his personal property. He was arrested after signing a statement.
Juvenile (born Terius Gray) does not live in the house. St. Bernard Parish is southeast of New Orleans, and the house where Juvenile was arrested is located in the residential neighborhood of Arabi.
Juvenile, who was arrested for marijuana possession in 2008, and Edwards were taken to jail and booked on charges of misdemeanor possession of marijuana at around 6 p.m. Both were released on bond a little before midnight. The case is scheduled to be handed over to the district attorney’s office for prosecution.
Juvenile could not be reached for comment at press time.
