I say send it out one last time...with the McLaughlin Group on it...with a one way ticket. Maybe Blankley can stay behind.

Make Eleanor Clift the Mission Commander, She can do an environmental update from space ala Eileen Collins.
She knows a lot about space, she has an abundance of it between her ears.
We could still go into space a lot more even if we DID send them on the Shuttle on that one-way trip, as long as we adopted pro-entrepreneurial reforms that could enable private enterprise to replace as much of NASA as possible. Specifically I'm referring to tax incentives, the recognition of private property rights in space, and using NASA's $16 billion dollar annual budget to fund competitive prizes instead of monopoly-rewarding contracts:
