The Focus

President Obama decided to close down the grand tradition of exploration as well as thousands of jobs in Florida when he ended the NASA space program. The end of NASA's space shuttle program was a casualty of an influx of government spending. With all of the other plates spinning on a national level, it was just not possible to publicly fund trips to space any more. This is a loss for national security as well as Florida’s economy.
