Summary: shuttle fund-raising

Heard on the news last night: two Austin businessmen are setting up a non-
profit corp to raise money to build a new shuttle to replace Challenger.
Cost: $5 per citizen of the US.

BUT...

I read in the paper today that NASA says it'll take the money, but won't
promise to use it for a new shuttle.  No reason was given.

Just thought y'all'd like to know.
