mirror Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Nasa grounds space shuttle fleet Let me preface my remarks by saying that of course I wish all our space travellers a safe journey, and a safe return home. Having said that I think it would be a wonderful event if the Russians ended up bringing them home safely if their spacecrafts are not useable. Quote
GostHacked Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Well, I think they penciled in a contigency plan this time. They could park that POS over at the ISS and Soyuz it back to earth. You figure with all that money spent on those vehicles they would want to have a back up plan to protect your investments. Only one left after this one is the ENTERPRISE !!!! This should have went up first. It is the least used of the fleet and would need some major renovations for space travel. But at least (I hope) that shuttle is in better shape. Quote
mirror Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Posted July 27, 2005 What about Atlantis? Discovery's launch apparently didn't damage the wing like what happened on the Columbia, although perhaps it is too soon to say what the consequences are. Quote
GostHacked Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 I thought they were still looking for that lost city. I totaly forgot about Atlantis. So they can fix either one up. Send up a repair crew then bring both shuttles back down. Or screw it, leave it there. Refit it and send it off to Mars !!! Quote
