The literally millions of people who stopped and clogged highways in Washington, the Bay Area and Los Angeles might disagree with you. Americans love space

SURE LIKE to hear from a few of them. Bobbygmartin1938@gmail.com Cathy Please pass to your dad. John Sununu If the USA does not get the commercial shuttle going it will be decades before we get the space capability we have /had with shuttle.  By starting now we can get shuttle going again in 1 to two years.  We are wasting money on the present NASA approaches.  Since you communicate with Mitt Romney, please make him aware of this.  This can be verified by kraft, Crippen, Armstrong, Cernan, Aldrin, Krantz, Abbey plus others.  Don Nelson is an excellent contact at nasaproblems.com.   If we don't restart shuttle commercially, the USA has wasted over 200 billion dollars plus placed ISS & Hubble in danger and are bankrolling the Russian program to the tune of 400 million per year for 5 to 7 years. The only way to maintain our capability is with shuttle. If we do not restart shuttle, we will NOT have HSF capability for DECADES. Now would be an excellent time to make the announcement.  We must defeat BHO for the survival of the USA.  A Florida win would help immensely.

The shuttle uses less than .1 percent of the national budget, consider what we waste yearly on various useless programs. Consider those out of work across the nation who worked for shuttle suppliers on a program America needs.  Consider impact on Florida.  I suggest an announcement 1 month prior to election by Mitt that he will Restart Shuttle might make a difference in Florida.  Mitt would be doing the right thing for America.
