Oh, gee, sorry.  Just tell us how many days we're supposed to wait
before posting these jokes.  (Is it different for shuttle jokes as
opposed to, say, Rock Hudson jokes?  And if so, why?)  Why don't
you save these in a file and read them next year?

Since you obviously knew the content of the joke from the subject
line, it is your own fault.  Don't flame at anyone who clearly
labels their joke content ("shuttle") and summary ("tasteless").

Now for all you people who really wanted to read some more shuttle
jokes:

NASA has decided it is going to go back to paying $900.00 for sheet
metal screws.  It seems they were unhappy after finding out that
their lowest bidder depended on the screw threads being optional.

[Historical note:  one of the takeoff delays was due to a screw
being stripped.  They had to drill it out on the launchpad.  Further
delay was introduced by the fact that they didn't have a drill.]
