I would really have to disagree with Griffin here. The biggest problem with the shuttle and the ISS is that they were shortsighted but that happens. We can't always predict the changes that will have to be made as needs change and both have served their planned purposes. So, we can't use them for anything beyond our own orbit. Well, that happens, get over it, Griffin. Whining about the last 20 years being a mistake is ridiculous. Instead, why not be positive and realize how much we've learned from both, including what we've learned from our mistakes, and move forward. I think Griffin made a mistake being so negative about the last couple decades that people have poured their life's work and lives with.
