"Technological developments in space-based battlefield intelligence and war fighter assistance have played a significant role in the tactical successes of the U.S. military in recent campaigns. Superiority in the air – now space – has long been the key to our national security.
"History has shown that our human spaceflight program promoted domestic security; fostered the development of new technologies and industries; created high-skilled, well-paid jobs; and inspired many of our youth to study science, math and engineering – the technical human capital that ensured our country achieved its global economic strength in the 20th century."
With the United States losing its own domestic human launch vehicle capability, Americans face a reality of watching their astronauts ride to a Space Station – which they have paid the majority of funding towards – on the Russian Soyuz, at the cost of several hundred million dollars of NASA funding over the next four or so years.
Although this is a temporary requirement, Mr DeCastro – a US Marine Corp. Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) - added that the implications of this interim agreement are centric to the potential problems a dependency on a foreign nation can result in. Directly, the highly respected manager feels the effective utilization of America's national laboratory may suffer.
"Based on what I have read in the press, Americans are wondering why the United States would turn over the "high ground" – America's lead in Human Space Flight – to other nation's at a time when both our national and economic security are at risk," he added.

The liberals do not understand the OBVIOUS!!!
1. Can't give food stamps to an increasing number each year. People must work.
2. Can't open the borders----can't afford it plus many other reasons, such as crime, costs, etc.
3. Must have a good business climate. Which AGW zealots damage!
4. people must have good moral values /honesty
5. Must have a strong military & space effort to control those who want to do us harm.
The USA has massive amounts of resources in EO. We must be able to defend them.
We must have routine EO operations which cots efforts will not provide!!!
Even cots isn't funded adequately.
This will maintain our technical base in the design, test, manufacturing, & operations. We are deficient in this due to previous policies re general Shelton on difficulty in replacing the Russian RD 180 engine. All critical to our survival!!!
6. This adm does not understand the limits of our financial capacity in most areas, such as open borders, health care, producing element ( people) , give away programs, etc.
7. The liberals desire to waste money on useless programs ( anti poverty has not worked), but they discard desperately needed military/space programs. Most are critical to USA survival and help the economy which is critical
