Today's Random Twitter Exchange From Outer Space
Hey @StationCDRKelly, loving the photos. Do you ever look out the window and just freak out?
— President Obama (@POTUS) August 1, 2015
I don't freak out about anything, Mr. President. Except getting a Twitter question from you.

I was going to comment “how long before we see the typical ‘how undignified of the President’ kind of complaints” but it looks like I was too late.
At least it isn’t “It looks like the top part fell on the bottom part”, so I guess it could be worse. (Comment by a vice president on the collapse of a highway overpass following an earthquake.)
Scott Kelly: “I freak out Mr. President at your indifference to NASA Human Space Flight”
Uh huh. The President has a habit of making public mention of missions and people in a way that draws attention to them and you call this “indifference”. 3 human transportation systems under development and you call this “indifference”. Baffling.
I was thinking of the SLS: Mission to ?, and all the NASA power point charts that show Mars as the future, and your edits to those chart showing no $ for any of whats needed and shown on the slides.
Yes, you are right: SLS, Space X, and OSC – 3 human transpo systems in development – agreed. So, perhaps indifference is the wrong word here.
Seems like a very honest question to me. One I would ask. But then again Im accused of being five years old. By my wife mostly.
Well, I can think of worse.. imagine the POTUS asking a space toilet question….
And this is a typical comment from someone who hides behind a fake name when posting.
Reading the comments from the Twitter and here makes me question again the wisdom of the social media idea .
“Sounds like a question from a 15 year old.”
Its more like an adult capable of a child-like wonder.
It is an admirable quality.
I warned you people about gratuitous politician bashing and off topic comments. Shutting off commenting. I this continues then your chances to comment on NASAWatch will be reduced.
