I think most of the space exploration and work has been cancelled. The media says Obama did it, but I think they may be lying again. Since when did congress let the executive branch run NASA?

Since I'm not allowed to post since I have less than 20 posts, I have a question for you guys. I read on another board several years ago, that if one would happen to get the chance to get into space, you would only be able to see with the naked eye, the Sun, Moon, Earth, and total blackness. You would not be able to see the stars like we can when we're on the ground because the Earth's atmosphere acts as a telescoptic lens which allows us to see the other heavenly bodies at night. Is this correct and if so, do you think that the night sky is just an "illusion" anyway?
