The USA must be Absolutely Preeminent in EO Space Capabilities. We had with the shuttle an excellent first start in a vehicle that would do the job. The next generation would be even improved overall. Now, we must pay the Russians to get to ISS in a capsule. A capsule does not compare to a large payload lifting body runway lander. Look at the way capsules land & compare to runway landers----get serious,!!
Look at the number of people & companies involved in the shuttle system & it's impact on the USA economy & remember the USA needs this for its survival. And remember how many years & how many billion dollars we have invested in the shuttle system.
And now after all this , our " leaders" will not even consider the the operational X37B for a shuttle replacement ( re Boeing X37C proposal). Instead they opt for non runway lander capsules AND do not FUND these programs adequately----so we wind up with NOTHING.
Americans, this is not RIGHT, this ridiculous situations needs to be broadcast far & wide---- THIS IS TRULY THE DESTRUCTION of the AMERICAN SPACE CAPABILITY!!!!
