[TheForge] shuttle

[Kevin Gallagher]

I'm sure NASA appreciates all the useful suggestions from armchair engineers 
but remember, this really is "rocket science".  I quit sending them 
suggestions after I realised I've spent the past few years finding the best 
way to get relatively small pieces of metal up to forge welding heat and 
they spend most of their time on the best way to keep of few tons of metal 
below welding heat.  It's a whole different perspective on physics.
