Oh dang OM . . . this could be a fun thread if it gets picked up.

Wonder what the cost will be to do some approximation of man-rating
the Faclon 9 launch vehicle. No, I am not picking on Falcon; back in
the day, Atlas had issues as well.

Can't help but wonder what they have in mind for "an improved Mercury
capsule."

take care all . . .

I can sure think of lots better uses of the money.

Hell, I'd be satisfied if they monkey-rated the Falcon 1. :-)

As usual, Americans want to relive their past failures.

I still think they should have strapped Glenn into a replica Mercury
capsule in the cargo bay during his Shuttle flight. :-)

How much would that cost? If they're going to do that in 2012, how
about recreating Apollo 11 in 2019?

They're estimating about thirty million. As I said, I could think of
better uses for the money.

Yeah, so could Bush...

According to the site we spend $275 million per day. So $30 million is
the same as the the cost of the war for 2 hours and 37 minutes.

Hell we'd have to call off the war for nearly three hours to recreate
that expensive space project!
