We launched a Delta from California yesterday, supposedly our largest rocket ever. We just can't launch people into space.

Don’t worry. SpaceX is planning something even bigger than the Delta IV (22,950kg to LEO) and it will be the man-rated Falcon 9 Heavy (53,000kg to LEO).

Right, we’ve gone from manned exploration to robotic. Eventually we’ll be paying someone else to launch our satellites too. It’s an orderly shutdown of our capabilities.
