So with the space station stated for a deorbit in about decade, would keeping it up there be more beneficial?
The expeditions are doing some good science up there, I admit I'm not focused on it that much, of course the recent news about growing some plants was interesting, eventually more vegatables will be grown. I know growing a plant took place on the old Mir station, quite sometime ago now.
The agency's focus now being on the Asteroid mission if the Space system and Orion are on scheduled.
I have watched a Augustine report clip and having listened to the talk members there, the flexible path meant a asteroid mission with the ultimate goal of Mars.
Of course none mentioned the one off mission of a return to the Moon. Just listening to the budget problem in that clip, nothing further will get done at anytime.
We all just have to feel that the direct mission will take place for the least beyond the missions of getting a working rocket and crew craft.
