I have recently heard that Senator Obama is for making cuts to the NASA space program, which is going to have a lot work being brought to the center in Cleveland. Has anyone else heard about this? Or anything else about Obama's position on NASA and funding it? Thank you for any information.

The NASA cuts are apparently focused on the Constellation Manned Space Flight program, reducing its budget for five years in order to help pay for the Obama education plan.

MSNBC's space blog has a fairly thorough take on it:

And this is apparently the official Obama press release regarding his position on NASA's programs in general, though it doesn't mention the Constellation cuts:

If you wish to just read his space policy, without my thoughts, click Link

Specifically, while retaining Orion, and Ares I (ugh) he is postponing the Ares V and the Lander.

I live with someone who depends on his job that is funded by NASA JPL projects. There don't seem to be many Obama supporters at JPL here in Pasadena, California. They fear for their livelihoods.
