Give-um hell Berry!  I couldnt have said it better.

And lets name this group net.shuttle (Better yet - dont mess with the name!
				      I dont want to recall a failure every
				      time I read the net to learn about the 
				      achievments of the shuttle program, 
				      rather to see the header named for
				      its founding flier.)


And lets fix the SRB's

And lets launch as soon as the fix is in place

And lets support the NASA

And lets sell shuttles commercially

And so on....
