I still think space exploration is necessary, but NASA has to start thinking "outside the box" at this point otherwise they risk being left behind by other nations willing to do different things (Even if that means things that are "old fashioned")

I know reusable craft is kinda of a good idea but russia's has great success with thier old ass rockets, but they work and weve had to rely on them the whole time to support the iss and never had one bum mission with them yet so why not use rockets :huh: America just likes to look good even though thier reusable craft are fallin apart, jesus they havn't even redone the tiles on the bottom. They replace as needed, jesus just redo them all and be done with it for awhile :rolleyes:
