    still thrills me to see it lift off, I should make it a goal to travel to Fl to see one of the last two go in person.
    I saw Challenger blow up on TV in the Unisea department store in Dutch Harbor in 1985.

    NASA needs to be dismantled.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    obviously, but a sad state of the matter.

    Two of them destroyed in flight, not a good record. Those machines are too much a conglomeration of trynig to make a poor design work, and work cheaply.

    I love to see them fly, but they worry me. Just hope all get home safe and sound.

    The Space shuttles belong in Museums. Right next to Indiana Jone's hat!

    how many nuc subs were ever lost.
    thats kind of thinking is like obama wanting to stop oil drilling in the gulf, because we had a spill.

    IT's a damn shame as long as everyone has an SUV and an iPod they forget America has a direct self preservation need to innovate and push the known limits of engineering and science.
