I'm just saying that there are many reasons why we need to have an active space program and some of them are inevitabilities -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 08:52 7

  - But they are dropping our ability to get into orbit independently for the next X years (maybe 10?). That's a major problem -- nm - oblique Apr 14, 08:55 5
    - Thing is, even if funding for Constellation wasn't cut. Since Constellation was behind schedule, nothing is different in those 10 years. - musubi Apr 14, 08:59
    - To get people into orbit. There are all sorts of launches in the US to get satellites and other payloads into orbit -- nm - Roger More Apr 14, 08:58
    - I'm wondering what percentage of Americans would rate that as a bigger problem than unemployment, healthcare and gas prices. - Jim Apr 14, 08:58 1
      - No one is saying it is a bigger problem. The government can multitask (supposedly) and in those terms, I've got a ton of other programs we should cut - oblique Apr 14, 08:59
    - Yeah, guess they realized there's more important things than mice screwing in zero-gravity. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 08:56
