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.

or possibly an attempt to get rid of Sen Glenn so the vast right wing
conspiracy could try again... yeah, that's what it was...


Gee, another conspiracy nut.

In a conspiratorial world. Damn, imagine that.
