There is an interesting (and in this group, controversial) editorial
in the October 30 issue of Science. The gist of the editorial is that
NASA should cease devoting so much of its limited resources to Shuttle
development, and spend more on scientific projects, such as planetary
exploration. The author draws an analogy between the Shuttle and the Concorde,
both of which are characterized as technically feasible,
but economically "20 to 50 years" ahead of their times.
