Why not privatize that $600 million-per-flight waste of taxdollars? For more information about how much money could be saved, and how easily we could bring about the changes (much to the chagrin of a couple of bloated contractors and the NASA bureaucrats who don't want you knowing that things can be done around 30 times more cheaply): http://www.spaceprojects.com/space-shuttle

If you keep up with O'Keefe's comments, you'll know that this is in the works.

It's always incredible to me that they can launch this huge thing on a tremendous tail of fire and put it exactly where they intended to put it.

Sure, there are lots of folks who bitch about NASA and the Shuttle -- and some of it's justified.

But the bottom line is: this is an incredible thing to be able to do, and they've done it over 100 times.
