Have you ever bought a new car and loved it sooooo much that you didn’t care how much it cost to operate and repair or keep-up even after it was waaaaaaaay past it’s prime, then it got to the point where you really couldn’t afford to properly fix it anymore but you kept making excuses for it, and then it started getting kinda dangerous to drive ??

It was the same with NASA and the shuttle.
fuck you
Really ??
Fuck You ?
Lulz
Don’t get me wrong, I believe NASA should get all the money they want and more, but they should be a force of innovation.
Good to see the shuttles go, bring on what next.
FTL drive?
Nah,
Probably something like Fusion or Ion drives, or propulsion systems that use fuel that get more thrust per fuel weight ratio.
Real working advances in space habitats for lunar and extra-orbital work.
Advancements that bring us not just to Mars to to operate long term outside of Earth’s orbit.
MOTHER FUCK I SAID FTL AND THAT’S WHAT THE WE FUCK WE ARE FUCKING DONING
FRUIT of THE LOOMS IS WHAT THE FUCK I AM FUCKING DONNING TOO !!
What are you basing that on? Those shuttles are far better maintained than probably most other vehicles in the world.
Yes, they are/were and that’s what I was alluding to.
It’s just a shame that so much was spent on maintaining the existing fleet of shuttles instead of working towards something better.
