American competence in manned operations in jeopardy!


People should be mad about putting shuttle in a museum!

What I don't get is the shuttle capabilities used in fixing Hubble , and many other repairs , releases & returns ARE SO OBVIOUSLY UNIQUE and outstanding, HOW could anyone not speak against " leaders" who would essentially throw it away , based on its capability alone not even considering the waste of money & unique irreplaceable workforce? Also, since cots not funded properly, the USA will experience a ten to fifteen hiatus in manned space operations--- not a good situation for American competence in manned operations.

Kraft, Abbey, Thompson, Shannon, Krantz, Buzzard, Cernan, Aldrin, Armstrong, Jeffs, Decrasto, Crippen, Young, plus many others all TOLD administration ( potus, Bolden, Garver) to keep shuttle flying until a replacement is available.
They did not listen, even if commercial flys manned missions tomorrow ( which likely will be 4 more years) we will not be CLOSE to shuttle capabilities! Essentially ten years with no manned capabilities--- who knows how long before we get shuttle capabilities BACK!!!
Face it, our capabilities that we spent all significant amount of money & time ARE gone!!!
This will impact the security of this country!
