Had I lived in the USA, I'd sign that petition.

Watch NASA to be closed down in a few more years.

US officially has two space programs. One is run by NASA. Second is run by US Air Force.

The way I see it. NASA will keep doing the telescopes and robots, and for that they need very little money compared to what they needed for flights with human crew.

Furthermore, now that shuttles are grounded, NASA can use same rockets that Air Force has been using for decades, should reduce launching costs for both organizations due to economies of scale.
