[QUOTE]Originally posted by Valles: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [qb] The US has invested far too much into the space program and ISS to abandon it now. Things will be pushed back at least a year, I'd say, but the remaining three shuttles will likely continue flying. They will certainly not build a replacement for Columbia, as Endeavor was built to replace Challenger. Columbia couldn't be used in space station construction (too heavy), so ISS construction will mostly suffer time delays and political setbacks.[/qb][/QUOTE]We can see the dream. A lot of people don't. They don't matter. The invention of the internal combustion engine was a neccessity before the dream of heavier than air flight could be realized. Naturally, such didn't happen immediately - engines had to develope more, everything had to come together. Carbon nanotubes, graphite composites... whatever. Things aren't ready, they haven't come together. But they will, and the universe will change. In one moment, Earth. In the next, Heaven. Blessed be. -n ("Fifty years after everybody stops laughing." -Arthur C. Clarke, asked when a space elevator will be built.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
