For anyone who is concerned about the Administration's current backing of privatization of Low Earth Orbit flights and end our country's human exploration program beyond it and leaves the door open to China and others who have started to expand their human space flight exploration this site ask for support to encourage the continuation of the Constellation Program that will continue the USA human space flight program.

The letter read's in part:
Dear Senator or Representative,
Currently, the United States stands as the leader in human space exploration. However, the President's recently proposed NASA budget will forfeit that leadership. The proposed budget cancels the Constellation Program, the only current replacement for the Space Shuttle, in the very same year that the Space Shuttle will be retired. This cancellation effectively ends our country's human exploration program beyond Low Earth Orbit. It also places our ability to perform human spaceflight on the Russians as well as the shoulders of an immature and unproven commercial space market. The development of commercial spaceflight is good for our country, but not at the sacrifice of our human space exploration program....
It is critical to our country's success to remain the leader in human spaceflight; however, the President's proposed 2011 budget for NASA leads the United States into an uncertain future in space. Therefore, I urge you to grant NASA the charter to build on the current successes of our nation's human space program. The responsibility now lies with this Congress to provide the leadership and resources necessary to move beyond Low Earth Orbit and solidify America's leadership in space exploration.
Thank you for your consideration.
