Isn’t the space shuttle eligible for antique auto plates?

In the 25 years from 1945 to 1970, German scientists took us from the V-2 to the moon, with no Americans lost in flight. In the 25 years from 1983 to 2008, American scientists took us from the Space Shuttle to the Space Shuttle, with 14 killed in flight and the loss of half of the fleet.

Al Gore is responsible for killing the Columbia astronauts because his green decision to stop using freon propellant to apply the SOFI on the external tank. The other propellant made for spotty applications with all the holes that would absord the moisture in the air, (after all the shuttle is less than a mile from the OCEAN while on the stand) and when you add liquid Hydrogen and Oxygen the ice that forms cracks the SOFI which falls off on launch. My good buddy and best man was a contracting officer at Michoud for many years and gave me up front info on the Mess that Gore created!

BTW Ghadi drank a cup of his own urine every day. Hindu philosophy recommended this libation and he lived a long and vigorous life. Some people say that your skin remains vibrant and hair doesnt turn gray! So belly up to the urinal boys, ( and girls).
