To the long list of right-wing, knuckle-dragging know nothings who dare question “global warming,” environmentalists can add six Apollo astronauts, two rocket men who flew aboard Skylab and a pair of former directors of the Johnson Space Center (JSC).
These veterans of America’s space program are among the 49 retired NASA employees who recently asked the agency to halt what they consider its unscientific advocacy of climate alarmism.
In a letter to NASA administrator Charles F. Bolden Jr., these rocket scientists, space explorers and other men and women of reason requested that “NASA and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) refrain from including unproven remarks in public releases and websites.” They added: “We believe the claims by NASA and GISS, that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled.

These old guys, what did they ever do? Sure, fly a few missions to the moon maybe. Big deal. How does that compare with the new shiny NASA that focuses on really tough problems like religious outreach?

Reporting an improvement here. I no longer have the problems of returning to home that I had on the other site.

As a kid growing up in the 60’s, I saw NASA as the agency whose mission was to explore space and put a man om the moon. 25 years after that, manned space flight on the shuttle seemed more about photo ops and international cooperation. They had become a PR agency that had huge, expensive engineering projects to use as a backdrop. Now they are losing the engineering support but the PR and burocracy continue. They have become the virtual reality agency that conspiracy theorists always said they were.
