Thanks to Alejandra for this one:

This articles is about how NASA is supposedly sending off people on the final missions to space. This is really sketchy because NASA has many more reasons to not stop sending shuttles off to space. It could be dangerous that the US won't be learning more about what is going on in space and the future that space holds. It is also blocking the chance for future development and it will be harder to understand the world outside. It is expensive to run these missions, but it is worth it every now and then. In my opinion, it is almost a necessity. Frequent visits are not necessary, but occasional ones are.
