Perhaps the Space Shuttle is........
Obsolete and Unreliable.
I think 99.999% of all shuttle missions seem to get delayed due to some type of problem. I love the idea of manned space exploration but perhaps sending unmanned probes will be more cost effective. This assumes the incompetants at NASA don't screw things up. One probe crashed when the software programers failed to convert feet to meters in the software code. I forget how many MILLIONS were wasted when the probe got destroyed in the resulting crash. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
AS for the space shuttle, perhaps it is time to go back to the drawing board and design a new spaceship.
