http://www.CrisisSearch.com is a disaster related portal I created after the Katrina hurricane (in hopes to help). It is basically a web based software application that stores and searches through an online database of helpful links that is available anywhere the internet is

David,

you want to look at wikipedia: Space Shuttle Program

The short version?

The space shuttle was a 40 year wrong turn into technological loserville which destroyed the existing high-quality ’space-fleet’ the US had at it’s disposal.

Bloody white elephant with wings… Grrr…mutter…should have cities on the moon by now…

The amount of resources (on a percentage and buying ability basis) being thrown at this project is far less than the Apollo Project, so it will take longer to pull off.

Phil,

I have a totally off the subject comment/question for you, but I have to see if I can get some answers/solasce to what I hear this morning on NPR. Why is it goint to take us until 2018 to get back to the moon? The news report I hear this morning on NPR was discussing the new (really very old) concepts that are being submitted to the government in order to get us back. NASA has insisted that the capsul design be used, and it is to sit on top of the rocket. Execpt for being bigger, it is going (from what I understand) to be just about the same as what was built before. If this is the case, why 13 years to get it done. Didn’t we do all this in the Sixties in about 6 to 9 years? Of course, a friend of mine said it is because we really haven’t been to the moon yet. He said it as a joke but it does lead to my confussion on why the delay. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated. BTW.. I am very disappontied in our counties lack of advancement in space.

What a wonderful fundraiser. I have already donated to the Red Cross, but it’s a little unnerving not knowing where my chunk of change is going. In this case I’ll know exactly for what it’s used!
