NASA was supposed to send astonauts UP, not to drop them DOWN.
But you are right - NASA is on life support right now and the monitor is slowing down.

good call james. i was thinking about the private sectors ability to operate on a budget of sugar water and dirt bikes. nasa would have streatched it into a 10 million dollar- 6 year "endevour", complete with its own arm patch.
ann, right? i hate heights.
satanus, i found it in the sports and linked to it.

It was live on youtube. They'll likely put on an edited version.
