I still believe nasa made a major error not having a enterprise fly in space..........

Why? It would have cost more time and money than converting STA-99 into
OV-99, Challenger.

the good feeling would of helped nasa gain support everywhere.....

By wasting time and money to make a few Star Trek fans happy? Bull****!

I know some dont care but it still bugs me

Most don't care, even the Star Trek fans, because *all* of the remaining
shuttle orbiters are in museums, so it doesn't matter at all anymore.
