In Leaked Email, NASA Chief Vents On Shuttle Program's End

Posted by timothy on from the just-jealous-of-garriot dept.

jerryasher writes "In a leaked memo, NASA Administrator Mike Griffin discusses 'the jihad' to prematurely terminate the Shuttle and what that means for the International Space Station. One implication: there may come a long interval when only our Russian Allies are aboard the Space Station. Add that bit of irony to your new cold war kit and then wonder why Griffin discusses why we wouldn't sabotage the Space Station, and how and why the memo got leaked in the first place."

    And get something new and awesomer in the skies to replace it.

    Something that could get people going wow again would be nice.

    I would also like a pony.
