Lets hope that the next administration does the right thing for manned
spaceflight. I would suggest killing Orion and Ares, ordering two
additional shuttle orbiters to replace those lost, and beginning work on a
realistic shuttle replacement or replacements. A 1959 vintage model T
Apollo II spam in a can capsule is not the way to go.


shuttle costs too much to operate.

shut down shuttle give ISS to russia

take all the money and invest it 2 ways

robotic expoloration all over solar system

use other 1/2 of money for manned launchers by private industry

Another approach is permanent unmanning of shuttle, so it can continue
to fly. with a replacement manned launcher

whatever occurs ideally the pads 39 a and b would be permanetely
stacked one with a apollo mock up the oher with enterprise under a big
glass bubble.

tourists would flock to see it, get the visitors to the pads
