That's nice, Mike. It's also irrelevant, per the internal Code S memo
leaked to NASA Watch.

"O'Keefe decided, apparently almost purely for reasons of Shuttle safety,
to cancel SM4. Budget was not a driving concern, nor was the new Bush space
initiative. (Only the timing was related to the President's announcement.)"

Now, I do not agree with O'Keefe's decision, but I do recognize that the
decision was his to make. "Monkey-boy", as you call him, had nothing to do
with it.

Could you stop the hysterical ranting now? It's causing me to lose
whatever respect I had for you.

If I read this wire service copy right, it's $500b for the HST servicing

You're not reading it right. It's $.5B or $500 million.

So you could buy 160+ HST servicing flights.

Stop right there.
You absolutely did not read the wire service copy right.
You are more that a thousand times wrong.

Quitcher bitchin, whining and moaning and _do_ something.

Get off your ass and go off some of those parasitic,
