The Future of Human Spaceflight...

What is the future of human spaceflight ? What's up at NASA ? Can we continue the same programs at these financial costs ? And what about the Space Shuttle ? It's so big and needs big equipment to set it up and that huge runway is too long ( and endangering to the alligators who wind up being runway kill on landing... )
Human spaceflight is a global endeavor nowadays. And what about the ISS ? We're not really going to junk it in 2016 are we ? We need to make that thing bigger to fit more people ! Didn't the people at NASA see the movie 2012 yet ?! The best way for the U.S. to continue its leadership role is to continue with space exploration. Spaceflight is also recently becoming a private commercial enterprise. Someone needs to build the Imperial Lambda Shuttle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-class_shuttle Anyhoo, lots of important people are thinking about the future of human spaceflight and what resources we have available to continue our space adventures.
