shuttle retirement

[jcreed]

Ideas for retiring the shuttle:<br /><br />1. load 'em full of "stuff", launch remotely, refuel at ISS, send on to Phobos to airbag-land, establishing a depot for future Mars mission...

er, there's no way that a space shuttle will ever get to mars. Ever. unless it's carried in the belly of some massive futuristic interplanetary freighter.

2. The newest ride at Disneyland.<br /><br />(I know, I know ...)

HAHAHAHAH, very funny! Its very hard to land a space shuttle on another rock in space. Why just send them to a museum? that's where there going anyway. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><span style="font-style:italic" class="Apple-style-span">gavinovz</span></p><p> </p> </div>
