Today is a Sad Day for the NASA Space Program

Today is a sad day. America has abrogated it's leadership role in space by turning away from a more advanced system and returning to a spiffed up version of the lunar Apollo program. This is akin to turning our back on all the work done to make automobiles last longer and require less service and adopting a 1953 Chevy BelAire as the foundation for all cars in the future. But wait, NASA isn't in the space business anymore. NASAs new charter is to make Muslims feel better about their contributions to the very same space program we are trashing. I think, unless we make some radical changes in our thinking, that historians will use the date July, 20 1969 as the date when America declines into just another sad socialist country begging for scraps from the more robust societies and looking to someone else for safety.

We need a radical change of thinking on the same level as militant Islam if we want to move the American dream forward and bury, for at least 100 years, this idea that collectivism is better.
