The last vestiges of America's manned space exploration era are dying off. Soon all we'll have left are some grainy films.

With its deep dive into socialism since JFK challenged America to walk on the moon, and the consequent $20 trillion in national debt, the US government will never again have the national spirit or resources to explore "the final frontier" that it had 55 years ago.

Another scientific tragedy was the decision to kill the Superconducting Super Collider during the first Clinton administration, driving cutting edge experimental particle physics to Europe. The SSC would have been online ten years earlier than CERN's Large Hadron Collider and three times as powerful as the LHC.
