Please name any innovative research NASA is currently doing that will lower the cost of manned space travel. They are wasting $20B+ building a non-reusable launch system based on 1970s technology. The future of space flight has to be cost effective. It almost certainly requires re-usabilty. Nowadays, SpaceX and Blue Origin are doing far more important research and actual development than NASA is. Thank you NASA for all the core technologies you've developed. But now that you have become hostage to congress and massive pork spending, and focused on creating massively uneconomic systems like the SLS, please get out of the way.
