Space Commander Travis Posted March 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I wonder if Pres. O is ever embarrassed that for Americans to get into space these days they have to rely on the cooperation of the Russians? if they ever were to decide to no longer cooperate in response to Washington's cold war bluster, that'd be pretty much it for any prospect of any more American manned spaceflight. I know there's plans in the pipeline, but really, to simply scrap the Shuttles and not have any plans in place for their replacement was as stupid as the Cameron regime's scrapping of the RN's aircraft carriers and the Harriers because they'll have new ones in five or six years time, and we can rely on the French or Americans to help until then. Oh for NASA's budget to no longer be dependent on Government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
