NASA is not shutting down.  It still serves a valuable purpose in exanding our knowledge of the universe outside of our planet.  NASA also generates many new technologies and advances in all areas of life from transportation to medicine.

They don't have a working reusable spacecraft. They designed and built a crude copy of our shuttle (theirs was called "Buran"), but it never flew and today is rusting away in some park somewhere.

NASA's 2006 budget is in excess of $16 billion. The agency says it understands its fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayer. But by any standard, the space program is wasting many, many millions of dollars. \n\nAnd now, it has its eye on returning to the Moon and a manned mission to Mars. Schatz says that shouldn't be the focus. "Let's just get NASA in shape to do what it's doing now as opposed to expanding its mission into something that's far larger than anything they've done before

At this point, the major concerns with the ISS are being able to complete it to a point that it will actually be viable as a research facility.  Nearly a third of the planned modules have been canceled and the crew capacity reduced to a point where most of the astronauts time is required to maintain the station leaving little time for the crew to do science.\n\nWith the shift of focus to returning to the moon and going on to Mars, the ISS will likely not be of much use unless the next White House administration redirects NASAs efforts to ISS.

The bad fact is that most of the rockets propelled from NASA release harmful gases which is not good to the ozone and also to the environment.\nBut it has many advantages,most of its work not only give alarm voice about the climatic hazards to the people of USA but also to other nations.
