Space/Science » in reply to Slow Motion Train Wreck: Shutting down the Shuttle - ISS as well?

Good article by Simberg

This sounds like a damn good idea.

... I think it's almost inevitable that once we really confront the realities of the mess that the past thirty years of space policy have wreaked, a decision will have to be made to just hand off ISS to the Europeans, Japanese and Russians, to do with as they will, allowing us to shut down Shuttle as well. Simply giving them the facility outright could obviate some of the diplomatic damage of withdrawing from our agreements, while allowing us to end the farce that is the current US manned space program and get on with something worthwhile.


I like it when people cut the bullshit and say it like it is.
