This past week the California lottery earned 1 billion dollars.
That's half the replacement cost of the Challanger.
California could divert two weeks of lottery money to buy California's
own personal shuttle orbiter. (California would get a lot of that
money back in jobs at Lockheed et al contractors that build the shuttle.)
What say we propose that?
