US President Barak Obama declared today that he had signed a rare Presidential Decree reinstating the US Space Shuttle program.

"We cannot find any justification to discontinue the deficit funding of a program that has so many applications other than proving - that with enough money America can do anything," said Obama.

During the press briefing Obama told reporters, "I don't want to see another NASA administrator - appointed on my watch - denied the opportunity to justify a program to Congress based on dreams, inspiration, and rehashed jokes."
