Will shuttle fleet be gone in 2010?

Will shuttle fleet be gone in 2010?: "Older than most cars driven today, expensive to launch and maintain, and dangerous to their crews, the most complex machines ever built are now gathering dust in their hangars. Meanwhile, officials in Washington are looking ahead to a fight over the shuttles that they say could shape the future of America in space.
Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, the ranking Democrat on the Senate's space subcommittee and a crew member on the shuttle Columbia in 1986, said there are two circumstances under which he would push to extend the life of the shuttles:
�If the international space station isn't completed by 2010, because the shuttle's large cargo bay is needed to carry the station's components into orbit.
�If completion of the shuttle's successor, the crew exploration vehicle, or CEV, is expected to be delayed beyond 2012. Nelson said that if human space flight were delayed for more than two years it would drain NASA of vital scientists and endanger the nation's security.
Other representatives of the Space Belt � Florida, Texas and California, where the bulk of America's aerospace industries are located � share Nelson's demand for a more flexible shuttle deadline than the 2010 cutoff set by Griffin. They express doubts that NASA can finish the space station and deliver the CEV, which is expected to continue bringing crews to the space station as well as eventually taking humans to the moon, while keeping within its budget.
