I would like to buy a few space shuttles when they scrap that programme (and it won't be long).

The space shuttle promised much but delivered very little. It is expensive to operate and cannot hop in and out of space the way that was hoped. It is also hopelessly out of date technologically.

Please let me know when the referendum will be so that I can let my American friend put in a bid for me. (after all, it was his tax money)
