i STILL believe the shuttles are some measure of hoax on the taxpayer and the world.

I still believe we have much more capable craft than the shuttle. . . withheld so the puppet masters can exert maximum control toward globalism when they decide the time is right.

I think the space plane is also a hoax similarly.

With all our technology, why haven't we upgraded our orbital capacities as far as the public knows? We've had the money and the capacity. Some would say the will has been lacking. I think it's the permission.

OK, tinfoil hats returned on your exit.

Flame away and probably be ignored. Respond thoughtfully and get a reply.

Answer: Politics and economics. NASA doen't really have much clout in congress and they have to make do with
whatever money they get. But we absolutely need a new redesigned vehicle; one that go from earth to orbit and back by
itself. Maybe this tragedy will advance that effort.

As far as the rest of your statement, I don't know why a superior craft would be kept secret, and I don't see any
group as puppeteers. Of course, things like that are hard to disprove.

It is a very hard concept to explain. The space program was Gov. controlled in the beginning because an imperative, generated by the realisation of the Soviet Space programme, required the rapid mobilisation that a government is capable of when the necessity arises.

There are things we are very good at, military for example, but there is always beaurocratic inertia. The Aegis system for example, one of the finest anti air platforms ever designed, is controlled by a computer that is 1970's technology. One would think they would have been upgraded by now, after all, how much does a new Dell cost?

There was, until today, no urgency such as that which put man on the Moon in less than 10 years of manned space flight, or built an atomic bomb in less than 5 years (from the time of the Einstein letter to FDR).

You know that "heads will roll" over this matter. Perhaps there will be more of a civillian imput to NASA, perhaps just increased Gov. attention, but you know that the status quo died with those seven heros.
