The notion that you need to have spam in a can to exploit space is a 1940s Sunday matinee concept. Technology and the world have moved on.

With a nation populated by short-sighted myopics like you, we'd all still live in caves.

Your vision is the past, not the future.

A few buffs support spam in a can. It's irrelevant to space exploitation. There's no popular support for it. The Shuttle has a powerful lobby. Accordingly, the three remaining craft will launch until they burn up. Then there will be no more Shuttle. Eventually, the space station will be abandoned due to lack of funding. It's a boondoggle. It's functionless. It's irrelevant.
