Yep, to quasi-quote: "end US involvement in the ISS in 5 years." Now then, if the USA cannot get a space station in earth's orbit working properly, how the smeg are they going to get one working on the moon properly? Not to mention the potential for real science, especially in the field of materials and metallurgy, if they had finished developing the the lifeboat and put up all the modules. But no. Silly asses. Instead, they'll make everyone dream big, kill off the various other projects, then say "Feh, the moon is too hard, Mars is harder, sorry." Then NASA won't have any budget, and the Elephants will be happy.
No, I'm not cynical at all.
