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

  - 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
