The good news is he did allow them to keep working on a Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle derived from the shuttle which should be done by 2015. There is still some hope yet.

The only reason it received a negative reputation in schools was because Wikipedia was still new and had yet to establish creditability. Also, people were not familiar with the idea that anyone can contribute information and thus further misinformation is spread.

It's plausible that there are some misinformed teachers who are repeating what they were once told, thus perpetuating this myth that Wikipedia is not credible.

The Constellation (Orion) thing is a tad bit sad but seems like a necessary thing during this shit economic climate.

Oh, BTW, it was Bush who enacted the current shuttle program to be shut down...




Did another Bush get into office? I didn't get that memo...:D
