60-day exploration architecture studies to begin Aug.15

[shuttle_rtf]

By e-mail, no link that I can find...but it's the excellent www.spaceref.com and classed as breaking news.<br /><br />"According to senior NASA sources, the space agency will begin briefing the major conclusions of <br />the combined 60-day exploration architecture studies the week of August 15th, beginning with <br />the White House and proceeding to Capitol Hill staffers. Mike Griffin may roll out the elements of <br />the plan to the public at a NASA headquarters press briefing shortly before the Labor Day <br />weekend holiday. No word as yet when the international partners will be told of the study's <br />conclusions."

> <i><font color="yellow">Something to keep us all busy on in-between STS missions etc.</font>/i><br /><br />Here is something that might keep you busy between now and the public announcement:<br /><br />"Space Vehicle Design"<br />By Michael D. Griffin, James R. French<br /><br />The contents look interesting, and Amazon.com lets you search inside the book and view pages with those terms. For example "lunar" brings up a number of pages talking about past lunar missions.<br /><br />I have 1-click on and clicked it right away. Only later did I look back and realize the price was $100.95.</i>

I'm determined to be rich before men get back to the moon, so i can watch it on a high definition 100" flat wall tv sometime in the late 2010's. Perfic.

You won't need to be rich for that. A late 2010s 100 inch flat-screen TV will probably cost the equivalent of twenty 2005 US dollars (or less).
