CNN.com - Independence Day liftoff for Discovery - Jul 4, 2006
It is certainly good news that the space shuttle launched successfully today. However, I continue to believe that if the United States believes that manned space flight is a worthwhile endeavour, it is well past time to focus on the creation of a new space vehicle. The space shuttle technology is from the 1970's, and as one commentator pointed out on ABC's World News Tonight yesterday, can you think of a single piece of equipment in your home that is from the 70's? I cannot.
