<excerpts> >> I don't know where you're getting your information... >> but the Soviets have NOTHING that can compare to the shuttle... >> There is nothing on the pad >> anywhere in the Soviet Union that even remotely resembles the shuttle... >> And >> there's no way you can get me to beleive that ANY Russian hardware performs >> better than the shuttle. >> The Soviets do not have the capability of transporting payloads into space >> and returing with other payloads......IT'S WORTH IT!!! This is an example of the kind of misinformed enthusiasm I believe exists in this country in large amounts. I am sure that most people believe the US should have the best space program in the world, but they think we already do (as this person does). I think that once educated, these people might actually turn around a help do something to convince our government that something must be done. Christopher Welty - Asst.
