Maybe get Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun cloned and see what he could do in that situation

Didn't we have plans to setup staging between an SRB and 2 liquid boosters that could get a capsule into orbit? Aires and Orion, I believe...

And of course there was the SDHLV Shuttle Derived Heavy Launch Vehicle - which could've also gotten a capsule up there

Maybe we could get all those banks that got TARP money to loan us some back so we could continue to fund our space programs...... and education..... and public safety services.... and medical care for our elders...... naw, we need to buy more weapons and warships.
