The point I take away from this is that NASA should stick to what it does
best, research and technology transfer. In the future, NASA should only buy
launches from private industry. This means that after the shuttle program
ends, there should be no NASA developed shuttle derived launch vehicles. If
there truly is merit in developing these vehicles, then let NASA transfer
the technology, and much of the hardware, to private industry and let them
develop the shuttle derived vehicles themselves.

Sounds good to me.
