#4 ISS is a waste at a time when waste seems to be all the gummint can do. It's sure doing a great job of fostering cooperation between the USA and Russia. Retire it early. Use the money NASA spends on it for anything worthwhile.

#5 Not to worry China will push forward. From landing on the moon to stuck on stupid. Perhaps Musk will save the day for NASA. Not likely as he is not wokeafied enough to satisfy this administration.His efforts with EV technology not even recognized. With this administrations efforts so far I see them shooting themselves in the foot on this.

#7 The modern US model says "we," as in people like you and me, can gain nothing. The elites and the beltway bandits, OTOH, expect to cash in big and escape ahead of the bright flash.

#8 All the ISS project has been for the last thirty years has been Midnight Basketball for Russians. It didn't work, and I don't think we need it any more.
