NASA~ENDEAVOUR, DISCOVERY and ATLANTIS last flights~

[Maggot]

Maggot you do realise that the shuttle program has not taken one step forward in 30 years? They are still flying the same craft, same technology, same screwed up heat shield tiles, the same liquid fuel boosters, the same solid fuel main, it's sad what has not happened with this program since this disaster.

But do you realize that Japan is flying shuttles up now based on the technology we Americans started and that Virgin Atlantic a private company is now on the cusp of creating a private space flight program not funded by government subsidies but bidding on along with other countries in sustaining the space station the shuttle created? You cannot even start to tell me that this technology has not launched many other projects into space. The Christa observatory is today laying the groundwork into kids fertile minds for the unknown future today. It did NOT in my book end 25 yrs ago it just got started!

Virgin atlantic, don't make me laugh, My governor spent all of our surplus on this stupid shit for the rich.

It's in my back yard maggot, that poor county got suckered into a tax hike that will never ever go away, at least the one I live in told them to take a long walk off a short pier.



the space shuttle is old out dated technology pretty much a death trap compared to the soviets.

maggot by way of trivia, what fuel was used in the very first orbital space flight? and when was that?

I think it was 1961 and I believe the fuel used was the solid brain matter that fell out your armpit when you fell off your peddle-tractor. Caught in a dish still wet it bounced only once. The world sneezed.
