[Man of the Right]

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.

Then there will be no more Shuttle. Eventually, the space station will be abandoned due to lack of funding.

I fear that you are right. And that reflects a sad loss of American, and human will to explore and to colonize space. It's a sad loss of confidence, vision, and will.
