Kennedy gets his own TFR
"Jay Honeck" wrote in
news:V0z%j.185288$yE1.118457@attbi_s21: I don't remember, but was anyone in this newsgroup upset that Senator John Glenn got to ride in one of the shuttles for some 'scientific' reason after he left the senate? It was, of course, made up science. I thought his trip was useful because it made it clear that age isn't the obstacle that many believe it to be. Giving an elderly astronaut-hero-senator a free ride on the shuttle (which, after all, has the capacity to carry him at no extra charge) is a far cry from denying all pilots the right to overfly a dying politician sitting on his yacht. There is no moral equivalence in the two examples. No extra charge? You are nuts. Go learn about the cost of carrying each pound into orbit. |

I strongly suspect the price/kg into orbit is calculated as total cost of mission divided by payload, to give you the launch price. If the launch vehicle is going *anyway*, the incremental cost of putting John Glenn in there is probably a fraction of the per kg. cost that is stated as the Shuttle price/kg launched into low Earth orbit. -- From the sunny Isle of Man.

Gee, another conspiracy nut. In a conspiratorial world. Damn, imagine that. |
