As a UK resident, I can only admire the US space program. They may have dropped
the ball this time, but let us hope that nothing mad happens, such as the
shuttle program itself being dropped. No one was more sorry over the loss than
I, but it should continue. There I go again, spending someone else's money .

If they need fodder for any shuttle tests, I will be there in 10 seconds flat!
