The week since the release of the damning Gehman report on the Columbia Shuttle disaster has seen an all out fight emerge
on the future of the US space program.
NASA's policy of maintaining a human presence in space without a discernable goal has come under withering criticism.
On the one side are those who, pointing to the present program, say the risks and costs of human spaceflight are unjustifiable,
and therefore such activity should be curtailed or eliminated. On the other are those who insist that the space program be
given a goal that is worthy of the costs and risk human spaceflight necessarily entails.
WHO MADE SPACE?
