Sad that the US is going to be out of the manned space business for a while but not sad to see the shuttle go.
The Soyuz: now that is a proper spacecraft, it could take you to the moon if you let it. Too bad Obama caned our version (Orion), he lost my vote when he did that.

But if Obama had plunked mega bucks in to the space program how many people would be on his butt for spending too much?
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
Personally, knowing that no matter what his decision some will be pissed at him, I am glad he chose the less expensive decision.
When the economy recovers, we will be in a much better position to reengage in manned space travel.
