You'll be impressed by our efforts in the 1960's. Then remember that in some of those years, the US lofted 60-70 unmanned space launchers, and you'll be really impressed. This doesn't count the odd Saturn I-B or so, each of which carried a payload similar to the shuttle in *its* payload bay. -- David Anderman Internet: David.Anderman@ofa123.fidonet.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------
