Default What next?


Didnt nasa recently suggest keeping ONE shuttle in flyable condition
just n case it was needed?

Actually rather than ARES they should of built shuttle C and keeping
the same mold lines could of launched shuttles at a low rate
indefinetely, had a pretty good cargo capacity and perhaps a shuttle C
variant as a capsule launcher.....

So sad missed opportunities
