I think the Space Program has been stale and stagnant for a long time. Now, I do also realize that they've probably been doing a lot of research and development behind closed doors, but we haven't really had any breakthroughs, either. Obama's cutting of the program is another in a long line of stupid moves. We cut funding to the space program, yet send billions to Haiti. New Orleans isn't done being rebuilt yet, and the permanent memorial to the victims of 9/11 is still in production, yet we send all kinds of money, product, and aid to other countries. I think the Space program is an important one. There is so much that is still unknown, and that's just in our own orbit! It really is a shame.
