[extropy-chat] SPACE: Shuttle will never fly...

[Robert J. Bradbury]

Ok, here are two very interesting articles on why the shuttle
may never fly again and why it is essential to have them service
the Hubble (by Zubrin no less...)...

and

The second is interesting because of Zubrin's words
about the need for the Mars Society to be commited
"to the search for truth".  I am *sooo* going to use those
words to roast the Mars colonization idea if I ever
get to do a presentation at a Mars Society meeting.
(It might be the last meeting I am capable of attending
and there are a couple of other presentations I might
want to do first so I'm trying to figure out the
best timing...).  :-;
