    This is such a waste of money we don’t have . The crew looks like a commercial for diversity. They go up and do nothing and then come down. Total joke.

    Among the things they are doing with the Space Station program is helping prepare astronauts for long durations of zero gravity. This will become important when we develop scientific and/or military bases on the Moon and/or travel to other planets (Moon has ~1/6th earth's gravity). Other nations, including Red China, also have plans for colonizing the Moon. We simply cannot allow them and other potential adversaries to do so unchecked.

    Totally awesome, but I don’t get the music, especially the Irish jig piece. I could watch it without the sound and just hear patriotic music in my head.

    Also don’t understand the horizontal launch scenes.
