big changes ahead for NASA?

One blogger has some ideas about where the Obama administration could be steering NASA. It would be pretty ironic if some of these suggested changes are made. NASA has for a long time been one of the most socialist type agencies in the the US. By that I mean that we've been doing all of our human spaceflight, and launching a lot of commercial payloads on government rockets. If these suggestions are true that the Obama administration might try to shift human carrying spacecraft to commercial providers then that would be a big shift and, I think, a very healthy one. It is ironic though because Obama has been racing towards socialism in so many other areas (the car industry, health care "reform", etc.). We'll see what happens...
