QUOTE (SigurRosFan @ Sep 19 2005, 05:48 PM) Er, where are the Apollo, Clementine, Lunar Prospector ... data? In the wastebasket? Sometimes I wonder about that - Lunar Orbiter, too; clearly there's some of the ice thing but I think it's just pork-barrel politicking. I read this interesting article on the Space Review: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/458/1 The author supports ISS completion to US Core only and an early Shuttle retirement, and if you support the plan I think the reasoning is sound. What do you think? -------------------- ----------------------------------------------

What do you think? I've paid for Columbus to be put into Orbit. I'd like it to get there please. I imagine the Japanese public would feel the same about Kibo. Retire the shuttle as soon as feasable - yes. Retire it before a ) Having a replacement US means of crew access to space and b ) Completing obligations to the international partners of the ISS No. Doug |
