Well, blow me down...even more than I imagined

: Well, shut my face. Man, did I blow that guess. The release about the HST servicing cancellation hit the group a few hours after I posted asking how much HST servicing mission could be bought for $87b. That's nice, Mike. It's also irrelevant, per the internal Code S memo leaked to NASA Watch. http://www.nasawatch.com/misc/01.16.04.hst.html "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. -- JRF Reply-to address spam-proofed - to reply by E-mail, check "Organization" (I am not assimilated) and think one step ahead of IBM. |

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. |
