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.

With the press left looking like stunned cadets, the President took to the podium before dropping today's bombshell that Congressional supporter's of the Space Shuttle have told SpaceDaily, "will create thousands of jobs, and leave school children inspired as to what America can do on earth and in the heavens."

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."
