Barack Obama did not "turn off" NASA. During his presidency, Obama supported NASA's exploration and research efforts, including the development of the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System. However, under his administration, NASA shifted its focus from manned space exploration to promoting public-private partnerships for space travel and placing greater emphasis on Earth science and climate research.
