Its far from over.
Whats the measuring stick?
Whats the goal?
I'd say we have lead the world from the get go and or have kept pace with the Russians. They have done some things that we haven't but they have never had a successful shuttle program and have never been to the moon.
The airframes on those shuttle are just too worn out to keep using safely, time to retire them and move on.
I would like to see NASA get a bigger budget but there are many that want to spread the cost globally, not to mention the economy is not helping either.
