Yeah, I hear you. "Tricky Dicky" ignored poor old Spiro Agnew, killed Apollo and gave us the Shuttle program. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America CAN Afford it!! LEO is a Prison -- It's time for a JAILBREAK!! </div>

No wonders so many people are leaving this site. Add me to the list now.

mattblack · Oct 30, 2005

Shuttleman, please don't go!! If you and Shuttle_guy leave, this forum may die. I don't wanna end up being the last one to "turn out the lights". I've been on this forum for 5 years THIS month, and I've loved most every moment here. I can't stand to see a good thing weaken, let alone die. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America CAN Afford it!!

is that admision of what i said or are you unable to give a debate?

spaceiscool · Oct 30, 2005

looks like he gone all ready.

It means you are one of the many boring trolls driving the interesting and knowledgeable people away from these forums. How can people come to a space forum and denounce practically every achievement in space, while not even offering anything constructive? And not expect to get flamed? Just as bad are those who stubbornly insist that their ideas have to be the best, while ignoring logical reasons otherwise. If everyone who said 'nay' had their way, the US would be permanently stuck on Earth. Meanwhile, instead of the resources of the heavens being claimed by all mankind, it'll just be claimed by China and Russia.

Nothing short of disgusting, that's all I can say to you, after reading the two threads you've set up. Quiet frankly, if idiots like you are allowed to remain, then I've got no problem being banned by saying you're a &%$#@!ing idiot. It's a waste of time banging heads like this until there's a zero tolerance attitude from this forum. Come to mine and I'll ban you immediately for distruption and incitement. Zero tolerance may mean a reduction in "freedom of speech" but at least the posts are relevant and people can debate safe in the knowledge that crap like this will be deleted. It's a real shame as there's a number of good and interesting posters here, but I can't keep a level head when people disrespect those which I class as heros. I'll pop in from time to time.

spaceiscool · Oct 30, 2005

heros are sucesful. show me heros. oh you gone too now. whatever

spaceiscool · Oct 30, 2005

Spaceiscool, here's how you thread should have started, IMHO: "The space shuttle stinks because NASA had to use Air Force specs, which called for a larger payload than initially planned and also a crossrange component. Thus, the big heavy orbiter which needed solid boosters to launch and an external tank to feed its engines. This compromising cnfiguration has repeadtedly proved unsafe and extremely expensive to maintain. Therefor, scrap the shuttle and allow money to go to other projects that would generate a more viable alternative." Which to me would be a nice lifting body fully reusable SSTO <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.comhttp://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </div>
