[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Also: refueling the shuttle in orbit: impossible. Once again, this simply isn't something it is designed for. And: I read a neat proposal for using the external fuel tanks as habitat modules for a space station on the cheap. (Though it was light on the details.) And: launching things with rockets on them is one of the reasons the shuttle's payload bay looks like it does. That's in the design specs. I already mentioned Galileo. The problem, of course, as in all things, is that the shuttle is not an order of magnitude better at that sort of thing than other launch systems. [/QB][/QUOTE]
