Nasa scientist David Leckrone criticises plan to retire space shuttlefor 'inferior' rocket.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sciencean...or-rocket.html
If they could only perfect a separable crew compartment for the Shuttle for emergency egress... I know the Constellation has far greater cargo capability, but so much has been learned from and about the STS system. Maybe the way back to the moon could be a space-station like structure, built by future shuttles, for earth orbit to lunar orbit transit and return, on a large, more than three or four person scale. |
