Because small failures (I think they said 15,000 documented) didn't bring the shuttle down until two years ago...

From what I've heard from the test area, none of the simulated repairs that can be done in space have worked either.

When was the change over to Dolphin Friendly Foam?

Im an idiot and no one would ever argue that!! but what the hell do we go to space for anyway? What has come out of the 50 or whatever launches to space? Im clueless!!!

Tang!!!!......oops that may show my age

Grape or Orange Tang

A ton of technology originally designed for the space program has filtered down into our lives. Of course, it probably would have ended up there eventually anyhow. We got into space because we're wired for exploration. Otherwise, we would all still be in Africa.

Ummm they didn't invent tank or valcro in space.. they did it here on this planet!! So we have spent trillions of tax dollars for what?

There was only orange in the 60's
