in my first article about Space, published in September 15, 2005 on my
website [ http://bit.ly/9Ujztd ] and discussed on several space forums
and blogs, I've suggested to to keep the Space Shuttle fleet in
service but modify it to fly (also) CREWLESS

well, now, also Buzz Aldrin AGREES WITH ME [ http://bit.ly/aGmOrf ]
saying "I also call for not abandoning the technology we've derived
over the past 30 years of shuttle operations -- the first shuttle,
named Enterprise, rolled out in 1976! -- but evolve the shuttle into
an unmanned heavy lift booster."

and this is confirmed by my comparison between the Space Shuttle and
the "commercial space" http://bit.ly/aP70mi
