Exploring Nasa.gov

[SnakeEyeSS]

I've lately been exploring Nasa.gov, and its pretty interesting to me.

 

but, can anyone find the section that has info on the next generation of shuttles?

The X-33 was supposed to be the new reusable space craft.  It was being developed by NASA and Lockheed.  But a couple years ago Congress nixed that program which was already underfunded as it was.  So that is why it is probably hard to find info on there site.  Do a search for the X-33 though and you should find info on it.

 

Hopefully this accident will wake the idiots at Congress up so that they will either bring back the X-33 program or give NASA the money to go back to the drawing boards and come up with a replacement spacecraft to begin use sometime in the next decade or so.

Yeah, the Air Force also rejected the X-33, which stinks b/c Oklahoma was a leading canadate for a/the spaceport!!
