The Space Shuttle Returns

Posted by Zonk on from the been-a-long-road dept.

An anonymous reader writes "NASA's Return to Flight site details the space shuttle's to return to active use. The Flash intensive site features details on the mission, the crew, and the shuttle itself. Additionally, the site features none other than Scott Bakula as Captain Archer on the bridge of the Enterprise (USS, not STS)."

  1. Entertainment Rocks! by icepick72 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Scott Bakula, an entertainment figure, on behalf of the NASA marketing dept. hyping the shuttle program to the entertainment-starved masses (rhetoric).
    And Arnold would become the gov. of California, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura of Minnesota.
    It's interesting what life starts to look like from a country that is inundated with entertainment.
    ... What's next on this list?
    Does Nasa *really* need the support of the masses who sit in front of their weekly TV shows? or do they already have it? Should the NASA crew members not be making the cameo apperances since they are the *real* "heroes"? Scott Bakula is an actor who will never step into space. If it comes down to entertainment factor, might as well use Mickey Mouse as a spokesman (cool factor ruled out :).
