I for one am outraged. I'm sure this will lead to a domino effect with the Japanese moon ambitions as well as the Chinese, Brazilians, and Russians. If the Americans cannot do it, I hope the other nations of the world can. Human space flight is a great achievement and I think that the governments of the world need to back it. As much faith as I have in the private sector, I just don't see it. Please share you thoughts.
