Surprised at number of Shuttle Supporters Who Are Not Agressively Outspoken about today's Event

There are millions of shuttle supporters in the USA who need to speaking out, setting up blogs similar to the Coalition to save space exploration, urging people to contact their reps/senators, contacting news media. The shuttle and shuttle concept must be kept alive. All it takes is enough people to contact their reps/senators.

The hardware is here, all it takes is the resolve of all supporters. The attitude " the program is over" expressed by many is unacceptable.

Read the post " new designs don't compare to shuttle" , tells the story as does

Early retirement of shuttle
Commercialize the shuttle.

The USA can ill-afford the loss of the shuttle. Additionally it will have serious impact on ISS and Hubble.
