Message-ID: <2100@thor.acc.stolaf.edu> Date: 13 May 89 03:11:15 GMT Sender: mcconnel@thor.acc.stolaf.edu Reply-To: mcconnel@thor.stolaf.edu () Followup-To: sci.space Distribution: na Organization: St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN Lines: 10 I'm sorry, stupid, but curious. Could somebody tell me the purpose that Enterprise is used for and include a history of it ? Please include why it doesn't fly like the other shuttles. The new shuttles' name is due to a 'name the shuttle contest', not because of A.C Clarke, try elementary students, I think. If I am wrong, I stand corrected. .............Sen. Jake Garn didn't deserve to go on the shuttle.............
