Space capability critical to security of USA !

It is incomprehensible, unbelievable that we ( USA) would place our capability in a museum.  It is even more so that with all the space supporters , people wowed by the shuttle flybys on way to museum, not hardly a word in protest from across the country.  There were a few astronauts, managers ( ex NASA) , John Sununu, who protested.  

I just don't get it, we spent decades developing shuttle, RMS, MMU, Eva suits, acquired years of operational experience , for what, to place museum while we dump tons of money down the drain ( a small percentage all that is needed to operate shuttle or equivalent ).  I always add equivalent since if I suggest restart shuttle, some think I am nuts!

Just like deficit, people need to THINK, look at what this country depends on EO.  Weapons, surveillance, business all are and will become more dependent on space operations.  In short it is critical for our survival.

So WHY aren't the many intelligent people , media, smart NASA & aerospace people sounding the alarm, raising the red flag???

I wish I knew the answer.  I have written everybody I can think of, set up blogs, encouraged others to but to no avail.

Always interested in hearing ideas from others .
