Chris Bergin - 21/10/2005 7:04 PMThat makes it interesting...keeping the Shuttle potentially going till 2012/13. I wonder how the Shuttle Bashers would respond to that
SimonShuttle - 21/10/2005 5:01 PMOk, who's the bright spark that put "Never" in there?
SimonShuttle - 21/10/2005 5:14 PMWhy? We can't keep flying them till the 25th Century. We'll have Warp Speed by then
anik - 21/10/2005 9:36 AMP.S.: Many people will lose the work if Space Shuttle program will be closed...
Tahii - 21/10/2005 2:42 AMI have voted "When the CEV is ready". All going well, that will be a year or three after the 19 flights + HSM, but I believe that if the CEV is delayed for a significant period of time, it would be nice to see the shuttle do a couple more missions. I know that this would require a lot of advanced planning and logistics, and will almost certainly never happen, but I'd love to see it happen.

I think that the Shuttle is one of the best manned spacecrafts... I do not want that they have ceased to fly and consequently has voted so...P.S.: Many people will lose the work if Space Shuttle program will be closed...
