Just great. Not only dump the shuttle but cancel its replacement and pay the Russians to get us there.

That worked out great.

does the science justify that enormous cost? Maybe those billions would be better spent on researching cure for cancer or something

If they lose that station after the billions upon billions and blood sweat and tears to get it there - they are in deep, deep kimchie.

"There is a greater risk of losing the ISS when it's unmanned than if it were manned," Michael Suffredini, the ISS program manager for the US space agency, said in a conference call with Russian officials. "The risk increase is not insignificant," he added.

No, it's not "insignificant."

They just said they could keep it going indefinitely without crew on board, now they say they may very well lose it without anybody on board? Is anybody able to make up their minds?

Man, it’s too bad we don’t have some sort of reusable spacecraft that could make regular trips to service the ISS. It could be made like a plane, and we’d launch it like a rocket and let it glide back to Earth. A “Space Plane” or, even better a “Space Shuttle”!! Wouldn’t that be cool! (Sarcasm is dripping, no tag required ;-)

The shuttle program turned out to be nothing more than a very dangerous and extremely expensive and inefficient way to launch satellites. And the ISS? Totally useless to science and space exploration.

Would somebody pleas tell me what the ISS is good for?
Has its existence produced any worthwhile scientific knowledge?
Is there anything that has been discovered as a result of the ISS?
Can its continued existence be justified?.........

Well, that's actually some good news for this fiasco. NASA is in no shape to boost anything, and certainly not Islamic esteem :-)
