I am all for space exploration and I am all for manned space flight. But, I would have vastly preferred to see Nasa fund projects designed to get humans and materials into space cheaply and safely rather than the bloated monstrosity that is the shuttle.

The Space Shuttle is the cheap way. Or at least was at the time. The next generation (CEV) is coming soon.

The guy in charge of your safety is probably worried about leveling up his ranger on Everquest

In a heartbeat.

If I died I would at least get an elementary school named after me or something.

I would love to go into space, but I don't trust the shuttle. Over a year down time and God knows how many million dollars, and they still can't keep the damn foam insulation from falling off of the fuel tank. NASA has fallen far since the moon landing.

I have no desire to strap a roman candle to my ass and ride home on the flying brick.

I'd rather go up in a Blackbird if I had to choose...

The Blackbird is a fine piece of engineering. The shuttle is a cobbled together mess of cost cutting compromises.
