Years ago I read that the main liquid fuel engines on the shuttle

My point: No matter what you fix the Shuttle it's old
technology---it's still just a giant V-2.
We need a high tech, 10 moving parts, 21st Century heavy lifting
vehicle---not something made with pipes and valves and one million
parts.
My fingers will be crossed on Tuesday.
Hmmmmm....
And I suppose you're willing to pay 1% more in taxes for such a vehicle.
If so, write your congressman.
