HI CANDY.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE, AND SUPPORT.
Ya know, I don't want anyone to think that all I do is just [...] all the time. I do it because our country is on a MAJOR down turn, and my PROCLAMATIONS AND SCREAMS are merely severe WAKE UP CALLS.

Believe me when I tell you, the Space Shuttle is responsible for MANY things most Americans HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT.

I sell a product that was partially created on the Space Shuttle, and this was an absolutely MANDATORY invention for the EPA, and the DEP.

RUSSIA is the only other country that has the ability to go to the Space Station. BUT,,, the Russian Vehicle is UN SAFE. It's already CRASHED 3 times out of the last 7 attempted landings on Earth. And it's just an old style CAPSULE. That technology is 50 years old, and we're leaving it to the RUSSIANS??????? ARE WE NUTS?????? We must be.

OUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T CARE about what's right and wrong. They don't CARE about what the PEOPLE WANT. Sure, when they need to be elected, they tell you what ever you want to hear, but once they get into power, let's face it Candy. THEY ALL SUCK.

We're all in big trouble Baby.

Hey, by the way, thanks, I'M FINE, and I hope all is well with you and the family.

You're one of the ROCKS on here Candy.

A GOOD EGG.

CIAO BELLA.

The shuttle system is a high tech dinosaur. Too many problems here on earth to solve without providing "welfare" for NASA.

You never retire something without having its replacement already in place!
The military owes much of its advanced technology to NASA.
This is more evidence that Bush is not too swift.
How about we ask McCain and Obama what their objectives are with NASA's program and the Shuttle Program specifically.

I believe it Dr. Monty...but hey..WE WERE SUPPOSE to be the voices......contact me...you seen to share some of my ideas..and I love a person that's trying to make a difference ( I don't call it whining or complaining) WE NEED TO UNITE........it is worth the effort rather than let it go like other useless minds. Peace.

RNC08,

LISTEN YOU GUYS, I'M NOT SAYING TO KEEP AN OLD CLUNKER GOING. I AGREE THAT WE NEED THE NEW IMPROVED SPACE SHUTTLE. I REALIZE WE HAVE A BETTER VERSION NOW THAT HAS BEEN ON THE DRAWING BOARDS FOR YEARS. WHEN I SAY SAVE THE SPACE SHUTTLE, I MEAN THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM. THE WHOLE CONCEPT.

Just like new cars, they get refined, and refined, but eventually, you come up with a whole new body style.

Well, the same applies to the Shuttle.
DON'T just junk the whole Shuttle program. That's what i'm saying.

Space Capsules are INSANE. They are not functional from a mechanical point of view.

Capsules are only good for launching satellites. But cannot serve efficiently as service vehicles.

ALL HALE THE NEW GENERATION SHUTTLE.

Oooops. Our loser Congress forgot to take their fingers out of their axxxx.....They
KILLED the entire budget. LOSERS.

There has ALWAYS been a schism within the NASA community between the "Manned" and "Unmanned" factions with BOTH competing for the SAME funds..

At THIS point the expense of developing a "New and Improved" version of the Shuttle seems to conflict with plans for a "Manned" mission to Mars and the "Unmanned" missions slated for the rest of the Solar System..

Thanks for being on top of this Hawkeye. As usual, I value your opinion.

I am pretty straight forward about the Shuttle program because of it's incredible possibilities. As I have said before, it's the PROGRAM that I want to keep going. A landable RE ENTRY vehicle is imperative for our continued advances in space.

And as I say, the Shuttle offers us OPTIONS not only for science, but for security on ALL fronts. NO WAY should we set it aside. The program needs to be funded no matter what.

There's PLENTY of wasted money being thrown all over the place by our Axx HOLE idiot Congress. LOSERS.

I'll check the POP MECH article right away.

Thanks,

I'm Old enough to remember the Flight of the FIRST shuttle,, the ENTERPRISE,, in Feb. of 1977..
I remember the feeling of Awe that surrounded the program back then..

Though the Missions no longer elicit such a feeling as a result of the program's magnificent successes and it's spectacular disasters,, the Shuttle Program nonetheless remains a Vital and Necessary asset to our country's identity,, both NOW and in the Future..

There WILL be a day when the Shuttle will NO longer be restricted to simple RE-entry missions but will indeed become a vehicle for ENTRY Missions to distant planets as well..

HEY SMITTY.

GO GET EM MAN. Now THAT'S what I like to see.

YOU, HAWKEYE, CANDY AQUINO, AND ME.... YEP...

WE CAN TAKE OVER THE WORLD. I bet we can do a better friggin job than the LOSERS up in Washington FOR SURE.

CHEERS TO YOU GUYS.
