To sum it up, after the shuttle program ends, we are fucked as far as manned space travel goes. We will be hitchhiking with the Russians for years.

yeah... but what did we lose, 2 shuttles?
not to mention all the complications with missing tiles, etc..
those are some smart motherfuckers @NASA...

The government is hoping private industry steps up and comes up with something. So far, only a few have shown interest.
