Finally some sanity has returned to the space program. NASA has decided it can operate the shuttle another year. So NASA will get another year for a total shuttle life of about 23 years.
Why does NASA want to discontinue the shuttles anyway? Not becasue they can't maintain the ships. Consider the B52 bombers, also a very complex machine. It has been flying for over 50 years and the Air Force expects to get 90 years of life out of this plane.
So what is it then? Is NASA worried about more loss of life? I don't think so. The answer is money. NASA (read the White House) does not want to foot the bill. The thinking is that the money could be better used on entitlement programs dear to the hearts of Democrat progressive liberals.
How long can Americans tolerate this liberal-progressive agenda anyway? Lets vote the bums out!
Also write or call your congressman as soon as possible.
