The Earth is FLAT, not the evil heretical "rounded orb" you blasphemously show!

I'm reporting you to the Inquisition for spreading lies, keeping files in the wrong folder, and sharing Internet links to heresy & blasphemous pictures!

Really? They're towing it up? Damn, I would really have liked to see THAT launch! Did they have a separate burner on the trailer, or did they just tie it really well to the main vehicle?

I say they strapped it to the tail with bungee cords and duct tape, thats the only way to go.

But seriously, when reporting on this stuff, terminology should be at least somewhat accurate, in tow was a poor choice on words, but I've heard local news people use phrases like "the shuttles gas tanks" in reference to the solid state boosters and even the horrible analogy of "the shuttle has to glide unpowered as it lands, meaning it has more drag than thrust" which just hurt my brain, gliding indicates a lack of thrust if I'm not mistaken............... news anchors........ oww my brain.

...and build new ones from the alien technology they have aquired over the years.

Just one question : given that the ISS has been "in construction" for what seems like forever, just when exactly is it going to be actually useful ?

In the 23rd century ?

You've obviously not seen Futurama... You can hire space trailers from U Yank.

How do you know they haven't built something from the alien technology. I couldn't possibly comment but would have full stealth technology so you'd never know about it, especially if they kept the shuttles around to distract people.

Now, what's that materialising outside the window?
