Yay!

kepler, messenger, new horizons, dawn, curiosity.

nasa is continuing the mission of exploration just fine. it's hardly been gutted.

explaining to a small government republican why we shouldn't spend hundreds of billions on manned space flight to find out the answer to the burning question: "why did we spend all that money?" shouldn't be this hard.

orbital sciences, spacex, scaled composites, and other private companies are building the next generation of launch vehicles. they'll launch from virginia, new mexico, and other sites (along with florida).

they'll even provide supplies and manned missions to iss (at a small mark up to cost) so we can continue studying the effects of weightlessness on man. the futuristic equivelant of staring at our own belly buttons.
