Why no X37C?

Why?


And those in Congress specializing in space are well aware that, had getting independent access to ISS for our nation really been Job #1 for NASA's leadership, then the Administration would have approved Boeing's proposal for the X-37B follow-on, the 5 crew X-37C. We are talking about a dependable spacecraft that can sit in orbit for over a year and NASA said no to making it a crewed vehicle. Why?

EO Capability is more important than moon/Mars


Our leaders need to recognize the importance of EO Operations & the need for Shuttle like Capability as Aldrin & Abbey plus many others have. This capability needs to be operational. Re X37C Boeing proposal

Moon /Mars exploration are not as critical as EO capabilities.
