The evil administration of Ronald Reagan presided over the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy!	08 Jul 2007 20:29 GMT	17
Yeah, Good Ol' Ronnie Raygun just had to beat those communists in Russia at every turn. Even if it DID mean sending up a faulty space shuttle. Which DID happen and which DID end up with the deaths of the 7 astronauts.

Will selected shuttle vehicles be retired first, or all at one time?	04 Jul 2007 17:05 GMT	40
As Endeavor is the newest shuttle, would it be the last to be retired? Or would NASA just pull the plug on all of the vehicles? I would think that NASA would gradually switch from the shuttles to the replacement over time. That there would be a mix of vehicles in use for a ...
