<> The long, proud tradition of spending billions on a technology development program and then cancelling it at the last minute continues.  In this case, it’s amazing that two whole ships of this class might actually get finished; someone must have slipped up. The way this is supposed to work is that the program gets cancelled just as soon as metal starts getting bent and thousands of technicians, engineers and manufacturers uproot their familes and relocate.  See: Dyna Soar, SST, X-30, X-33, DC-X, Comanche, Cheyenne, B-70. Coming soon: Orion, Ares.  To actually allow a few examples to enter service is just poor form.
