rockets that could carry new spacecraft beyond Earth orbit.

Currently, he said, the 5-year-old Constellation program is burning through billions of dollars and
falling further behind schedule. The program couldn't get American astronauts back to the moon
until at least 2028, he said.

"So as much as we would not like it to be the case . . . the truth is that we were not on a path to get
back to the moon's surface," Bolden said.

To summarize some of the highlights of this article. NASA’s Constellation Program was
experiencing “technical problems” in its rocket development. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden
said the Constellation could not return men to the Moon sooner than the year 2028. He frankly
stated, “as much as we would not like it to be the case . . . the truth is that we were not on a path to
get back to the moon's surface.”

The current NASA pipe dream is the Space Launch System (SLS). The SLS was initiated upon the
cancellation of the Constellation Program in 2010. It envisions taking the Ares I and Ares V rockets
of the Constellation Program and transforming them into a single heavy lift platform which will
eventually have a 20% greater thrust than the Saturn V, while being able to carry the same payload.
Notice, however, that all announcements relating to the SLS are in the future tense. “NASA plans
deep space rocket.”

Houston, we have a problem! I hope it is obvious to readers that something is very much amiss with
the NASA narrative. Why has NASA not been able to produce a single rocket with the advertised
capabilities of the Apollo Program’s Saturn V, despite fifty years of development? What technical
problems are hindering today’s rocket scientists, who have access to computer systems billions of
times more powerful than those of the Apollo era, along with space age materials and other
technological breakthroughs, from repeating something that men with slide rules and baling wire
accomplished in the 1960s?

The obvious conclusion is that NASA lied about its accomplishments in the Apollo Program, and
the lie was so extraordinary that man still cannot accomplish fifty years later what NASA boasted
