They say that building a new Orbiter will cost $2 billion, or about $8 from each of us. I gave some thought to what I'd be willing to pay and what I could afford, and sent a check for that amount to NASA in Washington. I enclosed a note asking that it be used to build Challenger II or for an equivalent manned spaceflight project, and that it be in memory of all who have died in pursuit of the dream. I recommend a similar action to others who feel strongly about the continuation of the manned program. -- Bob Munck
