A sad day for the USA to leave space travel. Heck even the Russians are still in space and they are in deeper Doo Doo that we are. They are making space pay! They won, not by skill but persistence.

In a way, the space race was a tie. We made it to the Moon but the Russians simulated long duration space flight, something that needs to be studied unless we find a much faster way to get to Mars and beyond. I got to hand it to them, they have problems as you pointed out but they are still chugging to put people up there.
