BINGO!
NASA did have plans for a new craft years ago, but the funding for the new programs kept getting shot down from republican lawmakers who had held the majority in congress, as well as a war bent White House. The lay off at NASA is hurting people in my area of Florida big time. It's not just about a spacecraft, it's also about peoples jobs.
BTW, I'm going to go view the final night launch of a Space Shuttle ever. That's in about 9 hours from now. Should be one hell of a show.
