RUN!! Forrest!! RUN!!

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.

Don't you have the least inkling to want to fly to the other planets?

We have to start with basic physics.

Sadly, though, there are no new avenues to that other than pure brain
power, which is NASA's best attribute.

Never liked to read science fiction, and never wanted to fly to other
planets. Have all the fun I can find flying this one.

I just think there are better uses for our tax dollars than shooting humans
into space for fun.

The paltry amount of funding for the US space program, a constructive
endeavor, in comparison to the tens of billions of dollars squandered
annually on useless war, a destructive action, is moot testament to
our nation's reprehensible lack of foresight and the ravenous appetite
of those currently in power for plundering the coffers of the US
Treasury. So while the space shuttle program has become a somewhat
regular and repetitious assertion of man's noble intent to continue to
explore the frontiers of his environment in search of the riches he
may find there, the state of war entreats emergency funding, and at
times extra-constitutional power, that provides an opportunity for
increasing the wealth of those in power and oppressing the populous.
