Training Astronauts is probably the only thing NASA will keep a strangle hold on.
Even that could be taken over by the USAF.
I envision NASA even giving up launch facilities due to lack of funding.
The funding level NASA has gotten since the Apollo days is DISGUSTINGLY SMALL.

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
