Wow I am a space fan and now consider the subject of space exploration something the US evidently can't spend the money on. But I found this on Samizdata.
"Don't tell me that NASA isn't risk averse just because the bureaucracy missed a problem and lost a shuttle. We've lost fourteen men and women in spaceflight and three more on the pad in four decades of manned spaceflight. More aviators than that died in almost every single year at the dawn of flight whose centenary is but three months away. Individuals can accept risk and push boundaries forward rapidly; democratic governments cannot"
How far do you think China will go or is the quesiton how far are the willing to go?
