RE: We are not alone
Should the government continue to fund NASA or has the program run it's course?
The government should never have funded NASA in the first place. The Kennedy administration pursued NASA as a way to beat the Russians into space (we lost that race, by the way). Now that there is a substantial business case for traveling to space, NASA should be shut down or privatized.
The space shuttle is outdated.
The space shuttle was outdated before it ever flew its first mission. Once again, its main purpose was not to further space exploration but as a PR tool.
Do we spend billions to replace it with a new form of space transport? Perhaps we should stop all manned space travel?
No and no. We leave space to private enterprise. Entrepreneurs are the best hope for the furtherance of space technology and exploration.
