NASA Where For Art Thou??

In the later years of the 20th Century you were the leader,the innovator.The one who helped blaze the trail for humankind's march to space.
What Happened??????????

Where are the lunar mining colonies the should have been established by 1994??
Why wasn't there a manned landing on Mars by 2004??
It was an eventuality  that future space travel would be taken up by private sector technology companies and i so regret that you are no longer capable of what you once were.Thanks to my government dedicating itself to destruction and war rather than life and the future.

So NASA,i lay to rest the memory of what you were to me in my youth.And embrace those who will take up the cause of taking humanity to the stars.For that is where Earth's tomorrow lies...
