The Shuttle is the only answer--other wise we become a second rate space power

Gov. Romney, we can't wait for your special panel of experts, the shuttle is the only way we can regain our capability without the passage of decades.  The hardware exists, facilities exist, the team of personnel can be reconstituted .  None, none of the other plans for vehicles exist today ( manned rated).  Even the X series ,   including X37B does not have the capability of shuttle. The Shuttle is the ONLY answer.  All the others must be fabricated, tested & manned rated. Failure to Restart Shuttle will set the USA space capability back decades.  Isn't it OBVIOUS, SAY you will get the program going. BHO terminated it because he doesn't want American Preeminence. Read Arthur Herman's nypost article re: Atlantis. Talk to Cernan, Kraft, Krantz, Crippen, Cunningham, DeCastro, Jeffs, plus many more. Read what Neil Armstrong said , " America's Space Program Embarrassing" in Congressional testimony. Look at all the KSC, MSFC, JSC plus shuttle team from Rockford, Ill. To Windsor Locks, CT to Troy, Lima & Akron, OH to various Calif. Cities plus many other cities around the USA who are part of a critical technical team which USA must keep together. It has been a little over a year since last flight, come out and say you will restart shuttle, be BOLD---Critical to USA security & technical capability!!! Mitt, you can do it, get new space advisors--you need to do that since you have not uttered the words Restart Shuttle.  For Heaven Sakes, we have the hardware in a lousy museum & facilities exists which we spent another 100 Billion--we are wasting money & capability needed for proper operation of the 100 Billion dollar ISS plus we must provide for Hubble maintenance. Mitt, you must correct this for the security of the USA . Background: nasaproblems.com. By Don Nelson former JSC MOD engineer. Sent from my iPad
