http://www.outquib.com/debates/view/should-space-exploration-in-the-u-s-be-privatized With the winning of the X-prize and the announcement by Virgin Galactic, should the question of N.A.S.A's role in future space exploration be debated?

Should NASA be eliminated? No, or at least not yet. But I can certainly see private space travel developing far more quickly and at a lesser cost. The shuttle has existed for about 30 years. SS1 won the X-Prize in 2004, and SS2 is due to be in service in only two more years.
