The obvious Question

This country has invested 100 ' s of billions on shuttle, similar amounts on ISS and considerable on Hubble.  Additionally, the ISS with Russian rides to it, cargo support, is not being operated to its full capacity due to lack of equipment which needed shuttle to bring it to ISS, and lack of critical EVA operations.  We can't support Hubble repair or reboost. JWT is having funding problems, as is SLS and cots.  In this setting, various media stars interview presidential candidates.   You would think an obvious question, would be, why did we retire the shuttle prematurely? Or it's a shame why place a perfectly good vehicle in a museum.?
Greta in an interview with newt, ask lots of questions about space-- not a mention of shuttle by newt or Greta.  Or maybe-- too bad we can't use shuttle until we get a replacement.
Or, what a waste the shuttle after all we spent on it, it's in a museum.
What happened to the plan for USA to operate shuttle commercially?
What happened to the investigative media.?  Are they braindead?

America, we will pay dearly for this decision.  This has been characterized as NASA's worst decision.  It is definitely America's worst.

It can be REVERSED.
