Shuttle II

A follow up to the last post on the space shuttle launch, a link to NASA’s Page for the space shuttle.

People may say what they want about the scientific use of the shuttle and the ISS and how you can get more results per dollar with robots than you can with people, which is undoubtedly true, but it is no where as near as cool. Additionally we have invested a lot of money, time, and brain power in manned flight over the past 50 years. If we do not keep at least a token manned space program all of the knowledge and expertise that we have gained will be lost. And did I mention it’s really cool!
