With the fleet now grounded, I'm wondering about the future of the shuttle program. It was limping along to a slow end before, but now I wonder if they cannot find a timely and cost effective way to resolve the foam from falling off, if they won't just end the program here and now. With the end of the shuttle what becomes of the ISS? How much more time does Hubble have, with out any more shuttle flights? Too bad so much of the budget is tied up with this "send some people to Mars" nonsense... I'd like to see more programs along the lines of the rovers and the Cassini missions.
