The shuttle is a bad design. It was started with the air-farce as a joint project, in order to have more funding. but then the air-farce baked out in the
middle of the design and with that went a good chunck of the funding nasa was banking on but by that time the shuttle had a lot of design features that nasa
didn't want or need however they where stuck with the design.
Also nasa's budget is far less than it was during the spacerace, which is why they are not accomplishing much.
I for one would like to see us starting some more space industry such as a Space based solar power plant because the more industry is up there the more
attractive it becomes to do some manufacturing there which would bring down costs massively.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
