What if HSF ended in 1975?
Here is a scary thought:
What if the Shuttle was canceled and the last HSF was Apollo-Soyuz? With out HSF would NASA still be here today? (If NASA still existed w/o HSF, I would imagine that its budget would be 1/3 of what it is today) Thru the '80s how much impact did American HSF program have on Soviet/Russian HSF, (with out the shuttle to ship additional supplies, how long would MIR have lasted) would they have continued on with their program or would it have slowed down or stopped when the Soviet Union fell or would it have ended before that? Would the Chinese be actively developing a HSF capablity if America and/or Soviet/Russia abandon it? Comments?

Congrats for thinking of it! So NASA would of become a unmanned probe system with no manned capablity at all? |

When are you going to answer the previously unique questions you promised to answer? It's beginning to look like you're a liar, since you haven't kept your word. |

It's possible that the science, aeronautics, and technology parts of NASA would still be around, but it's also possible they wouldn't exist under the name "NASA" any more. Aeronautics and technology could have been spun off into a revived NACA, Earth science to NOAA, and space science to NSF. Arguably doing that today would be a Good Thing.

Of course, the core underlying premise here is that this is a question about US HSF. The USSR maintained a manned program through the whole time in question. Now, would the USSR have halted HSF? |
