$9 million have already been spent on developing Ares 1. the new rocket, and Orion the new lander. That money will essentially go to waste by ending the program, and there are countless unnecessary projects that obama is wasting money on right now. Constellation aims to establish a permanent base on the moon and is essentially the first step toward the colonization of mars and ultimately other planets. Because a mission to mars would require a stay of close to 1.5 years, I think we can agree that we cannot attempt a mission until we've had enough experience with a permanent base on the moon. With the cancellation of constellation, Obama will have single-handedly set back human advancement in space by DECADES. Somebody just lost my vote in 2012.
