I know every one on this list has pondered the "thermal effects"
and also the shear impact of coming back through the atmosphere not to
mention the tangible evidence i.e. meteorites and what happens to solid
iron ect.So I think the following is relative to the list, I read an article
recently where an argument was made that "the space shuttle missions weren't
really doing enough science to justify human sacrifice". "They were basically
just going up and down"
I believe there is some truth this. I think there is alot of frustration
within us all of not being able to get the space program moving faster
I personally would really like to see us going to the moon even mars or
then mars They say there's no logical reason for a man to go there but,
we are human after all and must follow the frontier its are nature ands
it how we survive both socially and ecomicly. So here's my point
, some day my friends we go to space and some day we come home and as we
are traveling back through the atmosphere I will be so grateful to ones
went through first The ones as they said in the article "they just went
up and down" the ones I say did ultimate experiment, the ultimate science
the science of returning to earth and by their sacrifice we will
learn and what we learn will provide safe passage for us, the travelers
of the future .
Thanks John
