Let me preface my later remarks by saying, "Great job crew! Congratulations and welcome home!"
Please tell me why the future of the space program is uncertain? I it because 14 people died in 113 flights? More people died building bridges and monuments in this country. That hasn't stopped us from building them. In fact the idea of NOT bulding brides or monument would have likely been scoffed at. The space program, not unlike our bridges, are a natural extension of our efficiency and quest for resources. It would be a mistake to question our mission to expand beyond our known boudaries.
I understand safety is a grave concern. But let's not second guess ourselves. We are a technologically advanced culture that advances more than a "small leap" by learning from our mistakes and our successes. Let's not forget the 1980's...which was our most prolific period of manned space flights. I welcome a return to those times.
Thank you NASA for continuing to go where our collective consciousness fears to tread.
The Intel D875PBZ is a very simple rock solid motherboard. It does come stock with an Ethernet port; however it does not have audio or video onboard. Other features include: 533/800mhz fsb, up to 4gb DDR-400, etc. Here's the link: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bz/
