Re: (OT) Satellite 'Size of a Bus' Falling to Earth

Some of those NASA people and at least one or two or more retired
Astronauts were here in Jackson today.One of those guys was talking
about Mississippi's contributions to NASA.(there was a short short vido
clip on WAPT tv news about that. www.wapt.com A retired Astronaut
guy mentioned that all of the Space Shuttle rocket motors/engines are
tested at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi.Old news to me, I have
known that since the 1980s.Other, new Rocket motors/engines are being
tested at Stennis Space Center too for the next generation of Space
explorations and thingys.The Space Shuttle program will be retired in a
couple of years or so.
