Is It Time to Scrap NASA?

The shuttle program is officially over and done.  According to some, the earliest that we could send people to space would be at least 2021.  The program really doesn't know what it intends to do next.

Meanwhile, Sir Richard Branson plans his private trips into orbit.

Is it time to scrap NASA and let private industry do the job of space exploration?  What should we be doing with the space program?  Let us know what you think about it as we mark the last flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery as it comes to a final rest in Washington D.C.
