Re: Still mad about the Shuttle program...

"Like Excel, the Shuttle was a bad idea implemented badly."

No, it was a good idea implemented badly. Mainly due the the "special" requirements of the military causing huge added costs and complexity which, IIRC, was never used, ie the ability to launch, deploy and land cross range in less than one full orbit (or however they described it)
