Sure, if we want to continue to be Russia's bitch for the foreseeable future. As Wayne Hale notes in his blog:"The X-38 was a lifting body spacecraft that was to serve as the International Space Station's lifeboat. It was the prototype of the Crew Rescue Vehicle, the CRV. If it had been allowed to succeed, it would have been an alternative to the Russian Soyuz in that role. As a spacecraft it was the potentially evolvable beginning of new space taxis that would have been able to provide alternate ways to get humans to low earth orbit and back. Again, eliminating our sole reliance on the venerable Soyuz, but also providing a way to rotate crews without the Shuttle - which we so desperately needed after Columbia. And the X-38 would have preceded the proposed commercial human launch vehicles by almost a decade.Unfortunately, new political leadership inside the beltway thought that NASA's only problem was not being able to do our accounting in line with the arcane rules proposed by the OMB. The new political leadership - which by their own admission - knew nothing about the technical aspects of getting into space - needed a scapegoat, an example, something that they could "cut" to show that they were serious about keeping NASA financially in line."http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=32782

So it took 15 years for the courts to make a decision?
Wow. I didn't know there had been such a large transfer of fissile material from the former USSR to America.
“Umm...making nuclear bombs isn't a generator of power. It takes resources and energy to construct a bomb and refine the material...just mining the uranium and using it in a reactor would be far more energy effecient.

Always find a way to turn it around on the Yanks huh. Although I think there might be a couple more practical applications for a few trillion dollars than 'tsunami preparedness'.
