“If there’s ONE thing our government SHOULD control it’s space exploration programs”

This is what gave us the Space Shuttle, and killed the Saturn V. This was the most monumental colossal failure in the history of human exploration since 15th century China destroyed their sea-going fleet.

Think of all the stuff we could have built with the 100+ shuttle flights if we didn’t bring all the weight of each shuttle back down to earth.

Think of what we could have built in space with 100 Saturn V rockets.

The US government should not be given control of American exploration.

Ya mean ya didn't like the shuttle missions making 24,000 orbits of the earth?

It was like watching NASCAR go in endless circles. Well, maybe not that bad.
