Is anyone aware of any plans for further exploration?

Well, considering there are still planned missions to the ISS...

We're just stuck using Russian "taxis" for the time being.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Sure it is.  It's exploring the boundaries of international cooperation between two societies with a checkered past. 

It's all in the spin.

It was great meeting "The Dude" at long last.   She brought us some epic beer.

fixed.  Space exploration is at an all time high, it's just un-manned right now.  It's not like the shuttle was doing any exploring, it couldn't even reach geostationary orbit.

Without getting too political, the shuttle is/was a taxi for quite some time now.  With private companies like space-x coming up, I like the idea of Nasa focusing on pushing the bounderies of space exploration and travel.  I just wish we devoted more resources to NASA  Sad

Whoops, I lied, I did get too political.  Sorry DP, I still love you, I hope you still love me  Kiss

Wouldn't that be "sit and spin"?
