Government has never been concerned about science, and this would make for an easy escape from the continuation of the program ("we can't afford the $$ to repair the facility). More and more it's looking like the privatization of a space program is our only hope. Then again, if private industry takes it over it will become mixed with the travel industry and astronauts and engineers will have to share their space with multi-billionaires seeking an adrenaline rush. Now THAT would make for an interesting reality series. Egads, what's the world coming to?
