More on the Orbital Space Plane

Posted by michael on from the now-30%-less-likely-to-explode dept.

AP has a decent piece looking at NASA's orbital space plane program, and describing it as a sedan compared to a tractor-trailer. National polls show that public support for the space program continues to be very strong.

  1. Yay another promise! by doublebackslash · · Score: -1, Troll

    Here comes another promise! Oh I love those promises! I just hate that they NEVER seem to pan out. I want to see someone say that they did something, and forget to promise to do it before hand. THAT would be nice.

    Well I guess since nasa can't take off (challenger) or land (columbia) that they will just need to know how to fly it, wait when was the last time someone said that (9-11)

    I am afraid I am going to have to report you to general Ashcroft.

    That kind of multilateral, thinkin don't fly around here mister. We're trying to fight a war on terrorism here.

    The last thing we need is a bunch of Frenchies, China men, and god knows what else telling us how to build rockets and where we can fly them and so forth.

    If we start cooperating with the world, and learn how to work together, why then, the terrorists have won.
