Preeminent Manned Space Program

John Glenn went to BHO & ask him to keep the Shuttle flying, Bho told him we can't afford it!!
When Bolden was ask about flying a few more missions, he said " time to move on" !!

This decision was one of the most important to the USA in the last 100 years! And Bolden had to know the importance & the capabilities of the shuttle to the space capabilities of the USA. After all the USA 's capabilities are all dependent on shuttle, Bolden flew three times on it!!!! Dyer's ASAP said it was " not safe but not unsafe"!!
What a bunch of crap, we can afford it, it is not time to move on & it is safe!

Bolden FLEW on Shuttle THREE times & is a decorated Marine pilot. He HAS to know the importance of shuttle capabilities & the lack of capability of capsules!!!
This smells bad, look at all those experts who have stated " DON'T GO BACK to CAPSULES " !!!!!

Now, NASA Commercial will not use Dream Chaser or X37 C, both lifting bodies / runway landers.

Face it, as with many other anti American decisions that have been made by this adm, the premature shuttle retirement & ignoring of DC & X37C IS ONE. I can only conclude that this adm, & Congress do not have the best interest of the USA at heart. WE should MAKE every possible effort to fly a reuseable lifting body like Dream Chaser & X37C.
2011 was last shuttle flight, Congress will not even fund the capsules adequately & it will likely be 2020 or later until we have a USA manned program. Meanwhile, our capabilities decline & we continue to bankroll the Russian program!!

This great country , a super power, must have a Preeminent Manned Space program!!
Please write your representatives & senators.
