Ares I is a dead stick for sure, (LOL). We need to use the EELV
systems for LEO. We also need to build a good heavy lift booster using
the existing work force, (That will keep the folks on the job, (and
give Us the Moon, NEA, and Mars programs needed to get the fire back
in the crowd)). As for the Money not being there, (Once the shuttle is
off the books, (We have the funding needed for future Human Space
Flight). If You want to bitch about the program, (Go ahead). Just make
sure You give options for Your view, of what We should do instead of
what the path is now. It is childish, (and shows major ignorance of
the real world), to say things are just so bad, (and funding so
short), that We need to just give up. Be proud of Your past, (and
support the future)!
