I take it they gut it of any functioning things like controls and all? Obviously no engines included?

Yeah, they are insanely delicate in weird ways.

And yeah I would rather have a MiG, I think the available rush would be FAR greater lol.

If a space shuttle is too pricey, NASA is offering some of its shuttle main engines for anywhere between $400,000 and $800,000, not counting shipping costs

so 800000+ 1000 for crx = greatest honda ever!!!!

you :lmfao: but if it isnt bigger than your house then get it, aim towards your house, and fire it up. then say bye bye to house, but on the bright side you have a bad ass rocket engine.

I'll take it, wire transfer is ready to go. I have 2 Nigerian friends who each have 25 million dollar bonds ready to go. They will transfer both bonds to you then you can give me 8 million cash back and the shuttle. You can fill it with fuel and keep 2 more million dollars if you would like.

There were a few accidents in my other one... which is why I brought this one out. These things rarely crash if you keep oil in them and stuff. I keep 'em loaded w/ Royal Purple and change the oil every bazillion miles.

Comes w/ racing harnesses, and I will throw in some MREs.

why is there sperm on the back of it?

The tail cone is put on the rear of the orbiter when it has to be flown back to the Kennedy Space center. It makes the Shuttle more aerodynamic while piggybacking on the 747.

And the shuttle can get wet, It sits on the launch pad 45+ days before launch, But they uslally will avoid all weather disturbances when flying it back on the 747 due to keeping all risks of damage to the orbiter and also the 747 doesnt exactly fly as it can without a big ass shuttle on its back, so they keep it as smooth as possible.

I still think though as stated in the article that the Shuttles will be extended past 2010, because Obama does not like the idea of the United States having to rely on Russia to get us to the Space Station for the next 5 years while the replacement is tested and built. I for one hope they do extend the time line.

Why?

The thing is 20 years old now and was based on 20 year old concepts of engineering. Considering that Nasa gets less than 1% of the federal budget I hope that Obama gives them a BIG increase. The last that I saw of the replacement i wasn't nearly as big. The replacement looked more like a "shuttle" to the ISS more than an actual repair delivery exploration vehicle.

If you ask me there will probably be 2 vehicles that NASA will use now. The replacement for shuttling astronauts to and from ISS. and the shuttle will most likely get used for the moon trip. I still don't understand why we are going there and not Mars. Unless the moon is being used as a stepping stone.

no it can get rained on but cant FLY through weather. its for multiply reasons,
one its only certified to fly in VFR weather,

two when flying the rain will damage the tiles they are extrememly fragile,

three there is no deicing available on the shuttle so thats another reason it has to stay clear of visible moisture(structural ice can only form when visible ice is present.)

just like fighter jets do not and cannot fly into known icing conditions due to them not having an anti ice system.

also the shuttle produces enough lift in flight to cancel out its own weight. food for thought. but you are right-o about the tail cone.

ice thats all. or what appears to be ice. if there is water ice then they can take that ice and break it down into fuel for the shuttle and also drinking water. but then they also have the ability to take your piss and turn it into perfectly fine drinking water.

I just think that the time and resources of Nasa are better spent on looking at new horizons. It's not like inhabiting the moon is is actually going to save us. You and I both know a few million years from now the sun will explode basically destroying our entire solar system. If they are going to look at inhabiting other planets then we need to learn as much as we can about the planets in our own solar system so that we have a basic knowledge that we can apply when we go exploring outside of out own solar system. IDK what your opinion is but im sure there is life out there other than us.

I'm a pretty big space geek myself reading some of your posts is jogging my memory actually.

but you also have to think about the moon being a better launching platform. it has 1/6 the gravity of earth which equals to a lot less fuel used to lift off. which is prob where 98% of the fuel goes to. and yes i do think there is life out there. although one thing i dont understand is why dont they try to cultivate amospheres on a planet like mars? im not above planting bacteria there to jump start it.
