Thread:Comments:US unveils revived space exploration program/Comments from feedback form - "The opposing argument was not ..."

The opposing argument was not represented in a credible way, but the article did reliably accomplish its goal as a press release for the POTUS. An accurately represented counterargument would be that the President not only had ended human spaceflight at NASA indefinitely with the cancellation of the Constellation program, resulting in an inevitable knowledge vacuum surrounding the piloting of spacecraft within NASA but also wasted billions of dollars in penalties by the cancellation of those contracts and furthermore the outsourcing of piloting human spacecraft to foreign nations.
