Exactly !!
How can it be that NASA couldn`t do this? (Yes Ik know Washington Politics)
US space traveling is impossible since the withdraw of the Space Shuttle, sending astronauts to the ISS can only be done by Russian help (witch is a disgrace IMHO)
With upcoming space "markets" like China, India, Russia once again, Japan the US have some stiff competition to meet.
The SLS is developing as we speak, but very expensive, and has been postponed some times already.
I know the US has the ability, the technical know how/expertise, come on let`s do it again, we need another Wernher von Braun.
The stars are the future, there is no other way, the milky way it is..........
