I should add this qualifying statement. I say good "for now" because eventually I would like to continue sending astronauts into space. That is, when we find a reason to send people out there.

I would hope that cutting the shuttle program only included actually sending astronauts into space. If NASA is no longer doing research on new shuttle technologies and training astronauts, then this is a terrible tragedy. My point is that, until we find a better method of sending manned shuttles to space, we shouldn't be sending them. We should absolutely be researching better ways to send humans into space.
