Funny about that. I've heard that the ET *and reburshing solid
boosters* cost $114 or so million in 1997.

Meanwhile as Chosp mentions in this post, there is $180 million cost
with the replacement equipment for the Hubble telescope.

Sorry about the long Google links. But don't know of a better way to
reference old USENET posts.
Message-IDs.
Your post, if you look in the headers, had
Message-ID:
- this is a unique identifier, and wll pick that post out of a
database. Handily, it's also what Google uses as its reference method..
if you look at a Google Groups search, try to pick out the string
starting "selm=..." - the ... is the message-ID.
So, your first link... let's look at it.
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=co...et+boosters%22
&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=5rej3f%24ot6%40usenet78.supernews.
com&rnum=1
[& seperates strings]
http://groups.google.com/groups? - is fairly critical :-)
q=cost+ET+%22solid+rocket+boosters%22 - is your search string - we've
got a result, but it keeps the search string so it can highlight the
words you're looking for. It can go. (%22 = ", I assume)
hl=en - in English, but this is the default...
lr= - dunno, but it's not even set to anything
ie=UTF-8
oe=UTF-8 - not sure what either of these do; character-set? Both are on
defaults, anyway...
selm=5rej3f%24ot6%40usenet78.supernews.com - this is it! This string
uniquely identifies the post you're quoting... the %40 is an @ sign.
rnum=1 - I never did work out what this one does.
So, your first link condenses down to
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm....supernews.com
(If you really want, you can shave a few more characters by cutting
//groups.google.com/ to //google.com/, but...)
Simple, really... thanks for the data, BTW ;-)
