| Glad they're back safely. Hopefully all of this will help push NASA to get a new shuttle. I want my Moon base!

I am glad to see they made it down safely. Another loss of crew probably would have killed the whole space program altogether. Smitty

| ..... ...Enjoyed that Smitty, although the design of the tractor-style-launchpad is much more error-free and cost effective...and gets just as much science done....as the orbiter, NASA's billion dollar baby... It was featured for a segment of a show lately(one of the History Channel engineering shows..). I'll take it's ability to move something over the Orbiter's function?? anyday...  |

 I can't wait for the sub orbital planes (ships) to start rocking and rolling. The majority have been privately funded, so the competition has been tremendous with a wide variety of designs. http://www.bristolspaceplanes.com/projects.shtml | |

| The shuttle was piggy-back shipped to Florida this weekend via a modified 747 aircraft....the photos of that spacecraft sitting on top of a 747 with landing gear down and in position to land is mind blowing...The Boston Globe ran a neat report with some illustrations indicating the connection joints and frame upgrade specifications that I found interesting...now if they can get the fuel tank insulation worked out...

| And if they had rain they had to land..the shuttle skin is that sensitive... Saw the launch from New Smyrna Beach...about the 5th launch I've seen (Dad lives in FLA).. I neve saw so many people watch a launch before...the beach was packed.... Any update on the grounding?
