Comment Re:Thanks, Space Shuttle (Score 2) 227
There's only one thing learned from the Shuttle debacle. Namely, don't let NASA build and fly its own launch vehicle.
The shuttle was a bit of a boondoggle, but you are blaming NASA, when in all honesty it had many congress-critters and Air-force fingers involved in its design and deployment. It's rather disingenuous to place all the decision responsibility solely in the hands of NASA.
