And why would that make sense? It costs $1,000,000,000 to launch the garbage
scow (yes, the secondary mission of the shuttle, after the failed test
flight re. the parts falling off this model T, and the delivery of supplies
that could have been done by the Russians with their unmanned vehicle) was
to retrieve the 13 odd tons of garbage the useless space station has been
collecting.

It is so annoying to read the posts by you Buck Rogers wannabe's on this
board. You are all so enthralled by the space program you can't see just how
pointless and useless it is.

Yes, we have been whining about this boondoggle, the shuttle, and the ISS
for years. And with good reason.

I am glad he got away. 40 mile no fly zone. Idiotic.

OK, he abandoned the plane he was flying. Someone will want that plane
back.
They will find out who was flying it. He escaped, for now.

A 40 mile no-fly zone around the shuttle launch site makes a hell of a lot
more sense than the presidential TFR's that go up every time he wants to
fly
somewhere to kiss ass.
