It was years after Challenger that NASA got back into space.

We'll recover more quickly this time. I'm very confident of that. I just hope we reassess and plan to phase out current shuttles with newer designs for shuttles and heavy-lift rockets.

The program limps along because it has a powerful interest group behind it and bureaucratic inertia.
