Houston Gets the Shaft Again - No Shuttle

Post by Major_A »

I'm a bit disappointed and a bit angry. If they were going to be "fair" then Cape Canaveral doesn't get a Shuttle. A Shuttle would've looked good sitting next to our "working" Saturn V rocket. The Cape launches the rockets, ok. But Astronauts live and train in Houston. The only time they're in Florida is to either ride the rocket or work as support until it hits the Stratosphere. After that the ball is handed back to Houston. Hence the whole worn out "Houston we have a problem".

I guess I'm a little more pissed than I thought. I keep trying to type my thoughts into words and keep deleting those words.
