NASA & humans to LEO

As you might know, Obama canceled the NASA Constellation program.
This means that NASA is now officially out of the business of putting humans to the Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
This, of course, does not mean that we will be relying on the Russians or Europeans - we will be using The Private Enterprise.
So we are now observing a "socialist" Obama privatizing a field which has been the Government domain for half a century.
Go figure...
