nasa is going to launch the space shuttle today i am very happy that they are going to do it now. Hopefully they don't back out just because of the temp or something like that.

So far so good, it would seem. Shuttle launch seemed to go off without a hitch this morning.

nasa needs to build a new shuttle i am sick of seeing the same looking one from like forty years ago.

I think the cost of building a Starship Enterprise would be massive.;)

Poor bird prolly didn't even know what hit it :(

I was actually on a plane on my way home from NYC. I saw the shuttle launch from the airplane, it was pretty cool.

I don't see why they don't use some NEW technology and designs. The designs they are using are 20+ years old!!

I'm sure someone here could understand why that would be advantageuos?

This one doesn't work, has has major failures over the past 20 years..

NASA: Let's keep using it! :D

Heh. Just my two cents.

I'm sure they've got other ideas out there for getting people into space.
