[size="3"]With the last flight of the Space Shuttle in July 2011, there is no longer any reusable spacecraft for the US.
I fail to understand why this came to an end without a replacement/upgraded spacecraft technology in place [/size][size="3"]![[Image: icon_confused.gif]](http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd436/sumishi2009/Smileys/icon_confused.gif)
