    With today's costs of manned space exploration it doesn't make that much sense to send humans there. That money would benefit us much more if spent on real science.

    a) There's a deal already in place the US wants to waste money on manned, the EU sticks to robotics.
    b) The "enemy" Russia shit is over unless you're a stupid republican stooge trapped by a tiny mind in an eternal war with reality.
    c) When NASAs budget gets transferred to build even more pointless WMD for the war on fear the Chinese, Russians, Japanese and Europeans won't really be that interested.

    Kibo could have been sent up on an ariane 5, no need for a shuttle.
