Only Russia and China have space capsules right now that can carry humans. US has some that have never been tested with humans before. US?West has no "Proven" means to fly humans into space at this time.

We can personally thank Obama for scrapping our space program to funnel more funds into the important stuff, like giving a free ride to illegal aliens, and buying votes.
Again with this myth? No matter how many times this lie is told it does not make it any truer.
You talk as if you ingest nothing but Fox News.
Shouldn't you change Obama to Bush?
The Shuttle was cancelled under Bush,as well as a bunch of other NASA programs:

One party, the one which Bush belonged to was openly hostile towards science. That's a matter of public record not revisionist history.
IF you want to play that game shouldn't you take it to the US Political Madness forum to prevent thread drift?edit on 3-3-2014 by JadeStar because: (no reason given)

LOL, I can see it now. The American's beaten to a pulp, gagged and strapped down with good ole gaffer tape. It ends much like the Movie Gravity. There is the Door! Que the sequel.

Right now if Russia choses to do so, it can strand the NASA Engineers that are up there now. The can also take complete control of the ISS and not allow US astronauts to fly up there. US should tread lightly. If I were an American up there I would be poopin my pants about now. Only Russia and possibly China could move humans to and from ISS or even space itself.
Nah..we British could do it if we had a shoelace, some chewing gum and a spare garden shed to work in.
And the funding...which has always been our achillies heel regarding space.
All three of the main contenders competing to return domestic crew launch capability to the United States are making good progress via the latest progress reports to the Commercial Crew Program (CCP). Boeing’s CST-100 and SNC’s Dream Chaser both passed new milestones recently, while SpaceX prepare for a pad abort test for the crewed version of their Dragon spacecraft.
i mean, you-you're NASA for cryin' out loud, you put a man on the moon, you're geniuses! You-you're the guys that think this sh@@ up! I'm sure you got a team of men sitting around somewhere right now just thinking sh@@ up and somebody backing them up!
