A caller to the Don Wade and Roma show suggested:
1. that spending for NASA be increased,
2. that a replacement shuttle be built, and
3. that it's name be Courageous.
He asked Don and Roma if they could help get the ball rolling. I thought that if any place could get it rolling, it would be FreeRepublic.

I would think either the Yorktown, Intrepid, Constitution, or Enterprise would be cool names, however, I think there is going to be need for a replacement for the Shuttle asap.

I suggest no more names starting with a 'C'. They seem to be bad luck.

THE RONALD REGAN Why would you wnat to name a Space Shuttle after Donald Regan's brother?
To: Ken522
When they name the next vehicle, they'll stay away from anything beginning with a "C" ... Well, damn! We can't name the new Shuttle the "Clinton"
To: aruanan
How about "Infinite Justice"? *grin*
SW Fans: Executor? Chimaera? (er, there's that C again)
Have we named something after Nathan Hale yet? That would seem kind of appropriate however macabre...

Like Portnoy, I agree that Phoenix would be a good name. IIRC, John-Allen Price wrote a late cold-war thriller that had that as the name of the Challenger replacement. Not a bad novel, actually.

You mean the teflon that was in invented in 1938?
To: aruanan
I would propose it as a "next-generation" craft, using the more advanced technology proposed for the shuttle replacement & the "space plane."As for names, I'd propose:
Liberty
Freedom
Patriot
Independance
Constitution
Constellation
Courageous
Eagle
Republic
Excalibur
Excelsior

"My view is that the program doesn't yield anything...:
I agree. The 80 experiments performed on this mission look riduculous compared to the risks and costs involved. I don't believe earthlings are ever going to live on other planets, or the moon, so what's the point? Maybe there's bacteria on Mars, you know, in the frozen ice under the Martian surface!!-- so what. What about scientific curisoity??--get curious about something else. What about all the new technologies and inventions that resulted from the space program??--just spend the money on R&D and leave the shuttle at home. Unmanned spacecraft can put up the satelites we need, and do whatever exploring we just can't live without.
