    NASA plans shuttle replacement





    Supposed to make its first flight by 2008
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

    Those won't work! Where is the saucer section? And the warp nacelles? And the alien chick with the big, um, thrusters?

    Will NASA ever get it right? I bet those alleged "space ships" won't even make noise in space. Mark my words. If we keep this up, the Klingons will eat us for lunch.

        Well the one in the upper left looks pretty similar to one of the the ships in the opening at each show of Enterprise, so I guess its going to be that one

          I'm rooting for the capsule design, as it offers the only real chance for journey beyond Low Earth Orbit and the highest chance of succeeding...
          Let us return to the moon, to stay!!!

            about time..... but i do agree that the warp nacelles are a must have..

                      Top left looks like the 6million dollar man intro - the bottom right looks like the front of the top right pasted onto a current shuttle (whith the tail changed....

                      ORION - thats the way to go (if you dont mind killing 10 people per flight) - certainly feasable for deep space missions though.....
