It was not a cartoony space shuttle, as I saw when I could actually read
the thing -- it was an artist's sketch of the X-33.
The editorial is about why the X-33 was cancelled and what the Bush
administration should do with the space program. Anyone who was
interested in last week's thread on the X-33 and X-34 projects who can get
hold of the editorial should. If someone finds it online and can post a
link, that would be great. (I can't attempt transcription until sometime
tomorrow, due to having promised not to walk off with that section of the
paper and scheduling constraints for the rest of today into this evening.)
