Mankind has a history of discovery for the sake of conquest and conversion for capital gain. So there approach to Space is not shocking or new, its in line with our past actions. I would assume that links already exisit between the two, however now they will share one budget.

I am very much a pro world uniting kind of person. But it has not happened yet. And Obama must do what is best for the people who elected him in a uncertain ecconomic climate he must be economically responsible. Much as I would like to see a world wide joint effort and consensus on space exploration. Before consensus on space, we must find consensus and sue for peace on this planet. As much as I would love to explore space and journey far and beyond, i think first we must commit ourselves to some form of unity in this planet. I would gladly say close up NASA and every other space program and put the money towards better pursuits on this planet. And for a dreamer of stars and space like me that is no small thing to sugges.

Perhaps at the least to limit the spending. Perhaps that is Obama's goal to limit this spending to use funds for other more needful things.
