Geez,..don't get sick in here! :)
I’m not the biggest fan of the President, but I don’t blame him for the mess NASA is in.
Also not sure how much different things would be (regarding Constellation) if McCain were there in his place.
As cool as Aries V is, I just never thought it would be funded. Glad to see Aries I, and Orion go, but hopefully the Altair work can be salvaged to some degree.
As others have said, it remains to be seen, just how this will shake out. We may yet see a new super heavy lift Jupiter type launcher.
This could be a great transitional moment for US space exploration. Hopefully, it will be a tipping point for Private space entrepreneurs.
