It is so disappointing that they are axing what is effectively our entire space program. It might have been okay for them to dissolve the shuttle program if they had another program to replace it with so they don't. However the good news is that we will be sending Americans to Mars by at least 2030, assuming they don't push the date back like they do every few years.
I thought they were both launching and doing retrival/repairs on Sattlilites with that thing..How they gonna keep doing that?
there is another program but its a black project called the aroura thats going to replace the shuttle its been in the poplar science
