Read my own entry on the subject:
Discovery rises to the occasion!
I had to put it over there because of a picture involved in it...that is critical to the point.
the space shuttle program should be paid for by special interest groups. i do not approve of having to contribute to it whatsoever. so call me a killjoy. i'd much rather open a soup kitchen or a home for battered women and/or children or to my own children's education.
p.s. - however, i do wish them well.
Even Columbus' voyages of discovery were bankrolled by government.
I too would love to see private interest groups taking their money into space. Is it likely to happen? Not really.
However, many a payload heading into space is paid for by private industry.
Many happy returns to the astronauts aboard Discovery!
Fund NASA and fund it well.
John :) YA!
