  2. $28.8 million NASA Cuts Price for Retired Space Shuttles NASA on Friday slashed its multi-million dollar price tag for museums looking to acquire one of its three space shuttle orbiters after they are retired later this year. The due date for the reduced payment, which dropped by almost one-third, was also advanced to be six months earlier than previously announced. Interested educational institutions and science museums will now only owe the space agency an estimated $28.8 million - down from the $42 million set in December 2008 - if they are chosen to receive either shuttles Atlantis or Endeavour. Discovery, the oldest of the orbiters, has been promised to the National Air and Space Museum, although the Smithsonian will still need to pay the same fee. The lower price comes as a result of NASA releasing the shuttles' recipients from having to underwrite the "safeing" of the vehicles, preparing them to be safely exhibited. The museums will still need to pay for ferrying the orbiter atop the agency's modified Boeing 747 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to a U.S. destination airport. While updating its formal Request for Information (RFI) to museums, NASA also revised its schedule for transferring the orbiters to begin six months earlier than previously stated in 2008. As such, the earliest NASA will announce the final homes for Atlantis and Endeavour will be in July 2010, giving the selected museums approximately a year to fundraise and erect the required indoor housing for the orbiters. NASA has set a Feb. 19, 2010 deadline for institutions to reply to the updated request in order to be considered to receive an orbiter. In the interim, NASA is continuing to ready Endeavour to fly the first of five remaining shuttle missions to complete the International Space Station. STS-130 is scheduled to launch on Feb. 7 on a 13-day mission to deliver the third and final connecting node for the orbiting outpost.

  14. Love the "po' mans" f-22. if i was to run a merc airforce for hire, it would be my plane of choice. perhaps we will see a avg group use it one day.
  15. a few books to check out the black jack gerry saga honor harrington saga off Armageddon reef saga orson scott card like ender saga what not i liked the new jedi order saga. battle field earth was 1000 times better then the movie. there is a few classical scifi that is interesting like, enemy mine and starship troopers forever war was neat Frederik Pohl in his heechee saga is a good read. stainless steel rat saga bio of a space tyrant saga.

  17. If that is the case, if a shooting war were to happen along the lines of ww2 , it will be developed real quick
  18. i was just thinking something as i was listening to dale brown on the way home. it started with the thought of a laser similar to the 747 based laser miniaturized for fighter plane pod use for air defense suppression role..... wild weasel if you will. then i started thinking. air to air with fighters would make air to air missiles obsolete.i wonder if i will see any of this in my life time.
  19. i toured the f-18 line one time and what i can remember is a huge pres with a die mole for pressing metal. i would imagine there is way more then this.
  20. I hope 187 (-1 that crashed recently) Raptors are enough funny the airforce is getting more c-17s they dont want c-17s, they want raptors.
  21. something just to make a plane unreliable and high in maintenance costs. like what my dad keeps saying about f-111s
  22. yeah but dont trust that info coming from cnn..... in the article they called the F-22 "At $150 million apiece, the F-22A is the most expensive Air Force jet". They need to take some time before the release a story like this and do some research and simple math then they will find the B-2 stealth bomber hold most expensive Jet.
