    Why? As I stated it was necessary because of Obama’s sequestion act

    In 2005 NASA said they would return a man to the moon in 2020. We all know this is not going to happen, so why should be give these liars money and expect they will do anything.

    There is a fine line between conducting missions to conduct valuable experiments and a boondoggle. Our Government is Trillions in debt. Everyone has a sacred cow, but budgets must be cut. Particularly for agencies that make promises they have no intention of delivering, and agencies that waste money in a frivolous manner putting up websites to brainwash children about global warming.

    George W. Bush initiated the Space Shuttle’s cancellation back in 2004 as part of his Vision for Space Exploration, where its main purpose in the coming years was to “help finish assembly of the International Space Station.” He announced that the Space Shuttle will retire from service in 2010, after three decades of duty.

    The original Space Shuttle mission wasn't even for that length of time.

    It's hard for some getting the Facts straight

    The Space Shuttle program was the fourth human spaceflight program carried out by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which accomplished routine transportation for Earth-to-orbit crew and cargo from 1981 to 2011. Wikipedia

    Too many of these threads are just flame bait without any facts.
