..Are there any other shuttles in the pipeline?

CFC: None right now; what we need is a new-design vehicle.

Steel Wolf: Air density at sea level is about 980 millibars - at 20,000 feet about
half that - at 40K it's about 200mb - at 60K about 100mb - at 100K feet it's
maybe 20 millibars = 2% of ground level. At 200K feet there is just not much
air; 207,000 feet is almost 40 miles.

Even a tiny amount of air would produce a tremendous amount of heat at the speed the shuttle was traveling, right?

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.
