To: space at mc There is an interesting (and in this group, controversial) editorial in the October 30 issue of Science. The gist of the editorial is that NASA should cease devoting so much of its limited resources to Shuttle development, and spend more on scientific projects, such as planetary exploration. The author draws an analogy between the Shuttle and the Concorde, both of which are characterized as technically feasible, but economically "20 to 50 years" ahead of their times. ------- ------------------------------ End of SPACE Digest ******************* ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
