re: #54 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds
To be fair, some of the recent damage to NASA was self-inflicted. The Constellation Program was essentially reinventing the wheel at a time when spending for manned spaceflight was under intense scrutiny.
Constellation was a gift from the White House. Sick joke.
We should have kept funding the X-33 project. Nothing there was insurmountable.
