While on the civilian side, unmanned craft met and then exceeded the abilities of a crewed vessel. Thus the manned craft did not see the sort of continued and extensive development. The frenetic pace of development, a more successful rival system, and the mechanics of large government agencies trying to keep track of pieces of paper all converged to create a shitstorm of sardonic bliss. It's easy to see how and why we got here, but I do like to bring attention to the deplorable state our space programs are in - in reality, as opposed to how people see them through the lens of heroes past.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
