I like what NASA is doing, but I wish they'd move on from the aging, expensive, and inefficient space shuttle designs. :-/They should really get the Crew Exploration Vehicle going better, diverting space shuttle funding to there instead:<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crew_Exploration_Vehicle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crew_Exploration_Vehicle</a>But I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't allowed to, because the gov't wants them to keep doing the shuttle thing. :-p And then cutting funding because it gets so ridculously expensive.
