Houston (we) should have got a shuttle but the Marxist in Chief continues to punish red states.

I meant to say the space station is now exclusively supported by Russia.

20 years ago, the Russians were our bitter enemies. Now, we trust them is sole human access to space?

Obama, what have you done?

[Ferrariman601]

Agreed!

In my opinion, a manned space program is not only important for national pride and prestige, but also an asset economically, diplomatically, and militariliy.

Not to mention that we now have a space station which is not exclusively supported by Russia.
