Katrina Delays Shuttle

guildsolutions writes "The scoop on MSNBC has it that NASA will not fly again until next fall. With NASA's reluctance to get back into space, and Hubble dying, We just wonder when private industry will put NASA out of the game."

Never (at least not without NASA)

Private industry hasn't even come close to being able to reach the orbits that NASA does routinely (remembering that NASA's vehicles are built by private industry contractors).

For what feels like the millionth time, say it with me - NEW ORLEANS WAS NOT BUILT UNDER SEA LEVEL. The land is a bayou; the city sank in the between the 40's and 60's as result of the 'modern' levee/pump system & shipping lanes dyring up the land & preventing incoming silt from the Mississsippi. In your own words - educate yourself before you make a stupid post.

Private insurance companies will be writing billions of dollars in claims checks to the victims of the flood

This is complete nonsense. Private insurance companies do not, I repeat DO NOT, write flood insurance policies, at least not at affordable rates. Flood insurance is available as federally subsidized program. Please check your facts before you post.
