At least someone at NASA has a brain and is actually working on our space programs, not doing “nicey-nicey” PR/BS programs with Moslems who don’t even know that there is an international space station or what it is.

'59 PV544, Chicago, winter of 1972. Cracked exhaust manifold boiled the gas in the SU's leading to an engine fire while tooling down the Kennedy Expressway on my way to work one morning.

WHOA! I had my issues with my '64 544 and '67 122 Wagon, but nothing like that!

Nice clean-up on those guys.

It is pathetic that this once great Nation must salvage parts from museums to keep space operations going.

I believe that the Apollo 16 command module instrument panel was re-used and flew aboard the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project command module. The docking probe flown on Apollo 14 was later used on the second manned Skylab flight.

Thanks NCC-1701!
