[Boatanchors] Space Shuttle (OT, kinda)

[bonddaleena at aol.com]

Hi to all. God speed the astronauts, may they have a safe return. There was a great article on AOL about the Shuttle Program. Cost / launch was supposed to be $10 Million each. Seems this has ballooned to $1.5 BILLION per shot!

On topic.... since there are no more planned space missions, do you all think some of this equipment will be finding it's way into the surplus market??

Gee, the most complicated machine ever made, and made by the low bidder.......
