NASA is DEAD killed by: . 1. the Ares-1/5 LOBBY that wanted to earn over $50 billion of US taxpayers money to (just) develop two (BAD designed and NOT working) rockets . 2. the Augustine Commission that has given to the US politics the ILLUSION that a "commercial space" exists and can replace the Shuttle and the Orion . 3. the global economy and financial crisis that forced all governments (and especially the US one) to cut all unnecessary expenses and programs . but the most amazingly humoristic part of the new US spaceflight plan, is the $20 million (NOT $20 billion!!!) awarded to Sierra Nevada Corp. to ("""just""") develop and build a new Space Shuttle... :-))) . . .

They are killing NASA manned rockets. The program and the regulation will remain in place. I'm a huge commercial enthusiast. I'm cheering for SpaceX. But this is just bad. It's not what commercial really needs and it certainly isn't what America needs. If he's going to do this he needs to remove the "program" as well. But that is something you're guaranteed not to get from a democrat. Unfortunately they aren’t killing the space program. They are killing NASA manned rockets.
