Why finish the space station. It was just invented to give the shuttles something to do anyway

NASA made sure Congress couldn't pull the funding by getting us locked into international treaties with "partner" nations. That's why Bush has called for retiring the Shuttle in 2010 - that's how long it will take, about another 20 flights, to finish it to the minimal specs we are treaty-bound to do. Then we wash our hands of the dodo.
