[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] As a means of deploying billion-dollar satelites into stable orbits, the shuttle cant be beat, but I agree that the shuttle's role is becoming more limited all the time. I dont think the shuttle should be replaced with a radical new design all at once, but rather that a series of new designs should be built using what works well on the shuttle and incorperating innovations from there. How difficult (for example) would it be to build a slightly larger shuttle that could serve as a command post for a moon mission? I would probably be possible to convert the shuttle's cargo bay for that purpose (or even as an additional oxygen and fuel reserve for extended missions.) The idea of keping the shuttle design exactly as it's been for the past twenty years is just...stagnant. [/QB][/QUOTE]
