What a waste of money. I was not a fan of the program to begin with but, starting programs and canceling them shortly after the start is such a waste. The VentureStar program showed great promise as a new shuttle but, was canceled do to managers not listening to engineers. Switching to private launch equipment is a great idea but will set back return to space for many more years. In the long run this is a better plan as these companies will continue to develop better equipment than NASA can or ever will.
