The space shuttle and International Space Station — nearly the whole of the U.S. manned space program for the past three decades — were mistakes, NASA chief Michael Griffin said Tuesday.

Griffin has made clear in previous statements that he regards the shuttle and space station as misguided. He told the Senate earlier this year that the shuttle was “deeply flawed” and that the space station was not worth “the expense, the risk and the difficulty” of flying humans to space.

Well I don't know if this is a refreshing confession or not because going back to Apollo capsule style missions looks more like a cheap step backwards, especially in light of what private entrepreneurs have shown they can and will do with less money.

they do need a cheaper, safer way to send people up.

I think our mission as humans on this earth is to go to mars.

old...almost as old as when we faked like we went to the moon...

our mission as humans is to become extinct,
we've fucked this planet up good and proper,why visit the same destruction on another planet

No. We were put here for one purpose, and one purpose alone, and that is to go to Mars.

I think we should be looking a little closer to home still... How much of EARTH is yet to be studied? Think of all those canyons below the sea, how many strange creatures life down there...

aye. before this place is overrun with zombies.

Ge the space shuttle only created tons of new technology, and gave the us a huge advantage in the tech sector. Un-fortunately to get the space shuttle built they had to make it big anuff to go up and steel Russian satellites. The deaths of the space shuttle were only caused because the space shuttle is way too old. It's like flying in space in an old beat up jalopy.

I guess this means the money bugeted to make a new space shuttle will be cannibalized; for jorgy bushes political agenda. GG bush
