Something I was curious about with this weather an' all....how long can the shuttle stay in orbit as an absoulte max? I'd assume it would have more to do with consuables air, etc than something mechanical...

"Something I was curious about with this weather an' all....how long can the shuttle stay in orbit as an absoulte max?

Somebody more knowledgeable than me (nearly everyone) may need to comment on this. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong>  </p> </div>
