After losing 14 astronauts and billions of dollars in hardware and work under Republicans, Bush should phase it out. |

Then why not ground all airplanes because of the number of crashs they have,
or how about all the ships that have sank during all of history, let's not chance them anymore, hell, lets stop using cars and trucks and trains even as we've lost people to them and never ride a horse, they can kill too. This is just another way for bush to use money over in iraq instead of here. Why now close down jpl and all our space research outfits and let Russia and the EU do it all?

Just another reinforcement to my widely proven belief: US has the most
****ed up government in the world. No offence intended to most of the US crowd though, there is lots of good people there. "Starlord" wrote in message ...

How far some have come in attitude -- from "we've never lost an American in space and we won't on my watch" to essentially astronauts are expendable. Let's build something better than the shuttle. When I get on an airplane, there isn't a 1 in 50 risk of dying. --- Michael McCulloch |

Yeah, "starlord" is a real piece of work no doubt. |

Hi,
"astro naughts" must be expendable if thousand/millions of troops and civilians have been scince ultra! you remember cracking the enigma code! I am afraid that the 'thinking' during WW2 that allowed many battles to be planned to be "lost" so that germany would not twig to the fact "we" knew everything that they were up to conspiracy theorys may not really have a place in astronomy but scrificial pawns are real and have been used for political purpose scince at least 1942 on a global scale.....

Do you intend to imply the party in power had anything to do with the Shuttle disasters? I think phasing out the shuttle soon is a good idea - but I also think we're behind the 8 ball on designing its replacement. |

Do you intend to imply the party in power had anything to do with the Shuttle disasters? Oh yeah, it's called squander. You can thank democrats graciously for getting to the moon and getting things done in space. Look at the MAJORITY leaders of congress during the years since the early 60's and look at the leaders that roughly coincide with space disaster and SQUANDER. http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/..._Leaders.htm#4 |
