Everyone know's what the space shuttle,but the space shuttle is old and damaged.NASA not going to replace them probably until they all blow up.Remember the X plane.NASA could have had a cheaper way of getting into space than the old school way of lunching it off a launch pad.<br /><br /> If NASA takes a Boeing 747 and double it's size and drop a large space shuttle in mid flight ,NASA could save millions to billions of dollars a year,which could allow a better and coast effective space shuttle and more money to improve it.<br /><br />The idea that I used is nothing new I got it from the the x plane-15, this aircraft went on the edge of space and this was back in the late 1960's to early 70's.But NASA decided to be wasteful and blow their money.You can't launch a the space shuttle over and over again and expect to be fine.I know the shuttle is inspected every flight,but the frame over time can't hande it anymore.I say stop using 1970 tech and use tech from the 21st centuary,but remeber what worked and what diden't.
