It's really a shame that the project that had gone so well had to have a tragic ending.
It's not NASA causing the cutbacks, but the politics governing the country in decreasing the budget for NASA to less than 1% of the federal governement. That means that NASA is not getting $0.01 of every tax dollar, but is actually getting slightly less! Social programs on the otherhand are already taking up most of that tax dollar as it is! Why not give some money from dieing social programs that do us no good, such as social security, and give that money to NASA? At least then there will be some results from it. Any money going down the drain from a crash landing of a NASA probe provides more of a result than most of these so called social programs.
