[ragnorak]

Hey I can't believe there isn't an STS-1 thread going on here considerings its the 25th anniversary!<br /><br />Check out NASA's webpage <br /><br />http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/sts1/index.html<br /><br />And this one<br /><br />http://62.189.48.33/Articles/2006/04/12/Navigation/177/205956/The+Shuttle+25+years+on+Flight+special+report.html

Ummmm probably because we are looking at the future of the space program and it looks bleak to say the least.<br /><br />While Columbia's first flight was impressive until the last one with Discovery I think alot of us have mixed feelings about the Shuttle and its history.<br /><br />I loved it when it first came out and I didn't believe it when Challenger went up in smoke.<br /><br />I still didnt believe it when we lost Columbia either. Its a hard pill to swallow when you know that we don't seem to have any "Ambition" other than doing circles in LEO and thinking we are spending our taxpayers money wisely.<br /><br />The system at NASA has be broken since the ISS went international. A dream and I know President Reagan was a dreamer is or was DOA since the 90's....<br /><br /><br />Sad but partially true!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Rest In Peace Columbia, Challenger, Apollo 1<br /><br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /><br /><br />
