ADM does not want shuttle flying PERIOD–SIMPLE As That
This last effort was purely commercial , no gov. Funds . You would think NASA would be pleased to cooperate with the private venture or the United Space Alliance effort.
Let us face facts the adm Does Not want the shuttle flying PERIOD.
Look at the people leading NASA, their backgrounds, look at the adm, advisors, czars, etc.
Americans you need to get Mad, contact lawmakers, blog, tweet, Facebook — get the word out, save the shuttle. This decision can be reversed or a new design of equivalent implemented.
Reading a related article on Hale's blog regarding the barn's burned down, the horse is out of the barn , etc., Americans this can be reversed. A comment to Hale's blog made an Excellent point—tell me what hardware/part you need an I will get it designed/fabricated
This is Very Important —we can DO WHATEVER we need to.
America, the big loser re: shuttle termination
Seven losses America can not afford:
1. Shuttle is critical to national security
2. Shuttle is critical to ISS survival---& Hubble. Significantly reduces cancer & other zero g medical research.
3. Shuttle is expensive, look at what capability you get! Costs could be reduced as in commercial shuttle. Re: nasaproblems.com
4. No new development of this magnitude is without losses of life, could have been automated sooner, with crew escape pods, still should be done. This automation could minimize human risks. Improved management could have avoided the two failures, red flags were up.
5. Maintenance of the type of effort critical to America technological preeminence.
6. Shuttle provided a dream for many of the young Americans.
7. INABILITY to use the STS to place modules in orbit to explore the universe!
So , Ms. Pinchefsky, if you want to talk about things that are expensive, & buy you very little or ZERO, look at foreign aid, UN, & Colburn's list.
I am surprised Forbes would print an article so void of factual information & biased against the space program.
