In an even more bizarre display of managerial and political lunacy, the “gap” in U.S. manned spaceflight is expected to be 4 years instead of 2 years, in part because they have to rob the development budget for the spacecraft intended to replace the Shuttle in order to “complete” the “Space Station”!
