The new plan was not just to shut down the shuttle program‚ but also to challenge NASA to move forward. For years NASA has always been the best at making unmanned spacecraft. They have succeeded and accomplished many missions that have expanded our knowledge of our solar system. The space shuttle on the other hand‚ was not NASA’s strong point. With
