President Obama's proposed cuts to NASA funding could lead to the cancellation of the Constellation project, leaving the U.S. without a means to access space independently. This situation would force the U.S. to rely on other countries for access to the International Space Station, while still financially supporting it. A petition has been initiated to encourage the government to reconsider these cuts, although opinions on the necessity of manned space exploration vary widely. Some forum participants argue that robotic missions are more cost-effective and that private companies should take the lead in space exploration. The discussion reflects a broader skepticism about the value of manned missions and concerns over national pride in space achievements.

Although it would be quite nifty if I bought a tshirt that said "Made on the Moon".
But it might offend your sensibilities to realize that all the Moon-based sweat-shops are fish-friendly.
