Re: New shuttle

Michael:  Mark, like anything else that has ever become viable, the ONLY way 
for manned missions to ever
become viable is by trial and "error".

Mark; Granted, but I underestimated the amount of successes compared to 
failures.

Micheal:  Which is why I think continuing manned missions into space by 
trained astronauts and cosmonauts
who are well aware of the risks they take is very very necessary.

Mark: Yes, the success rate seems to warrant further man missions which will 
always have some element of danger to it.  But it seems the level of risk is 
acceptable.






Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?  The kings of the 
earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and 
against His Annointed One.
