Has Obama sent America back into another dark age in science by canceled all of the space programs and focusing on Earth?

This is the way forward. We're not forgetting as a species how to make rockets, guys. It's still being done. But we need to focus on infrastructure a little more, and NASA has become horribly inefficient. Space-X is doing a better job.

america shitting on science is nothing new. though it's usually the rightwingers and republicans that attack it. and i'm not sure what you mean by "focus on earth."

I think what some people don't understand about a "focus on earth" is that its not a neglect of science as a whole but the natural balancing of an arbitrary extension of our resources into an outlet of science to satisfy the aimless ideas of science fiction.
