2. the smartest people in Gov realized they could not compete so private Spacex will supply Space Station..

........so sorry ..the Smartest GUY in the government GAVE them the dollars AND the opportunity....SNIPS

President Obama

Obama said he was "100 percent committed to the mission of NASA and its future." He outlined plans for federal spending to bring more private companies into space exploration following the soon-to-end space shuttle program.

He said his administration would support continued manned exploration of space "not just with dollars," but with clear aims and a larger purpose."

The Obama space plan relies on private companies to fly to the space station, giving them almost $6 billion to build their own rockets and ships. It also extends the space station's life by five years and puts billions into research to eventually develop new government rocket ships for future missions to a nearby asteroid, to the moon, to Martian moons or other points in space. Those stops would be stepping stones on an eventual mission to Mars itself. [ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36563152/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/obama-plans-see-landing-mars/#.T5sYQsV1dOY ]
