Questions: How do you guys feel about the fact that the US won't be sending people into space anymore (on our on ships anyway)? I kinda feel like it is money we can't afford to spend given the fiscal situation, but I know it has led to tons scientific break-throughs. I feel like lots of the current spending/deficit/debt is over stuff that will hurt the US in the long run if we cut it. Thoughts?
I'm definitely for them axing this program right now, but the problem is that if they axe it now they will never be able to pay for it again. I do think that the private industry will step in. I'm also for joint ventures with Russia or China. I just think its silly for us all to be paying billions.
