To be honest you're probably right. I've never really seen the point in a spaceplane that launches like a rocket and is "like landing a brick" (as some astronauts have put it). It never made sense to me that the space shuttle has wings like any other air/space plane, but does not fly without the help of its rockets. (I call them cheap rockets because while the main orbiter has been basically reliable, it was the rockets and tank that ended up destroying Challenger and Columbia.)
I hold a very firm belief that ho human being has ever been to the moon, but like I said if you would like to discuss that with me, please PM me or start a new thread.
I referred to the Ares rockets as "the next generation" in the Saturn series because many of their parts, including the engines, were based on the Saturn designs. I know that the Ares and Saturn rockets are different in many ways and are not in the same series. Sorry if I was unclear.
I know that they don't answer their phone from personal experience with them. They have an answering machine, and I have doubts that they check it regularly.
It is true that NΛSΛ is responsible for about a third of the world's space junk and has an orbital debris department which many consider inadequate.
As Dilbert pointed out, I am only 16 and do not know everything, nor do I claim to. If I am wrong about anything I wrote here, please explain.
