I guess it was defeated for more funding. I think everything in the US will be about social programs for poor and elderly now. It will be hard to get money for space and defense until the baby boomer surge of elderly runs its course.
This writing has been on the wall a long time. Add to the baby boom elderly the current world economic down turn and you got no money for high tech anything.
The real shame is not so much the near term but the lack of consumer product advances that occur after space and military invents all this new stuff. That pipeline will run dry now and I think it eventually leads to us becoming an also ran country in the future instead of the world leader we have been for so long.
