He's probably looking for a NASA form.

I am glad he got away. 40 mile no fly zone. Idiotic. Shuttle program.
Expensive idiocy.

Probably won't help him any. If the FAA argues he's incompetent, that overrides
the form.

Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out:

1) Launch shuttle with a zillion cameras following it to check for
debris.

2) Spend orbital time examining yourself for damage, offloading
supplies to a useless space station and onloading said station's
garbage.

3) Return and repeat.

It's time someone said that both the shuttle and the ISS have turned
out to be stupid ideas. I'm not against science and progress, and
even risk, but I am against ****ing pointlessly into a headwind and
wondering why we stink.

nice circular "logic"

People have been whining about the space program for decades.

for some reason, I don't believe you
