What are you saying? That there's a lot of hot air being blown around? ;^)

Lift-off is not the only venue for massive venting of plasma from displaced engineering team (due to Clinton-era budget cuts).

RETURN TO FLIGHT????

Hell, NASA doesn't even know what CAUSED the accident in the first-place! What the heck are they talking about RTF for?

The country needs a real space program and not the spam-can on wings that we created forty-years ago.

Get us a Heavy-Lift Booster to shut the PLA-Chinese up. When the Chinese get to the moon, we should have Neil Armstrong back at Tranquility and saying "welcome".

Welcome to the moon on behalf of the people of the free world

On that I firmly agree. Unfortunately, we have a real problem in that a lot of the raw materials and little-by-little the knowledge of them is being outsourced, courtesy of the Greening of the Government. I heard that NASA has to get most of it's titanium from outside the country, and most of that is defective. The most prolific lanthimide (sp) mines in the US are now pretty well embargoed by ESA edicts. We're losing the knowledge base for nuclear reactors and the engineers who run them, as the math and science courses needed are being undermined by the environmentalist lobbies in both schools and governments. Most sheeple are content to go home and turn on the latest "Real Survivor" trash programming, instead of learning what their local governing bodies are doing with their tax monies.

Bread and Circuses and (outsourcing) Servants -- the Fall of the Roman Empire, and possibly the closing of the most noble experiment in governance -- the USA.

One good thing about being a pessimist; you're not surprised when things go wrong, and you get delirious when things go well.
