Having got that far, it does seem a terrible waste not to complete the project.

that's NASA for you... or more the funding people.

They probably wouldn't want to dip into the war budget.

Space exploration is only useful if it can be adapted for war. The Hubble Space Telescope was a copy of earlier space telescopes which were used for spying. NASA was not allowed to use the technology for space research until it was declassified. I wonder who the CIA used to launch the spy-scopes?
