John Glenn--- need your help
John
If the American people understood the points in The Case to Save the Shuttle by al Richardson , I believe they would be outraged over the retirement of the shuttle. Such a waste of taxpayer money. I would like to get this paper aired on foxnews-- haven't had much luck todate.
Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

NASA leaders should resign for retiring space shuttle
Read the Case to Save the Shuttle and most reasonable people will conclude as I have, this decision must be reversed. Since NASA management are largely responsible for going in this direction, they should resign.
Contact all media by all means, get the Case to Save the Shuttle on nationwide TV.
Contact the chairman of the house and senate committees on space, make it clear to them, that this decision must be reversed.

Shuttle Supporters---??? SOME OF THE ASTRONAUTS????
I read all space news---- you would think 0.2 % would say a few words supporting returning the shuttle to flight ASAP.
I have not heard them. Kind of unbelievable !!!!!!
The shuttle is a fantastic machine---words from a former high level KSC official.
HE IS CORRECT.

Parachute vs Runway landings
The two photos below illustrate the contrast between the shuttle and Russian Soyus.
The shuttle can land a large payload in a relative hospitable conditions on a runway whereas the Soyus lands a small payload via parachute in inhospitable conditions.
NEED I SAY MORE???
The shuttle should be returned to flight ASAP.
Where has the Commom Sense Gone??????
Anyone is welcome to join this site----need more people spreading the WORD/FACTS.

Where are the space personalities?
Maybe I am missing something---those people can get on fox etc. We need them to talk the shuttle up. People, famous space people ,don't give up, the shuttle hardware has not evaporated.
We must get the shuttle flying. Fight, raise hell.
Where is the fight? We can't give up on the shuttle. There is lots of shuttle support.
Got to get attention of senate and house space committee people and congress in general.

Save money--Fire NASA --Hire Russia
We could save lots of money and our program wouldn't suffer if we just hire the Russians.
Just trying to illustrate the absurdity of the present situation.
We must return the shuttle to flight ASAP. Congress could save years of wasted efforts if they would fund shuttle continuation.
Citizens, it is up to you. Call, email, tweet your lawmakers, let them know how you feel.

Retirement of shuttle Truly is a National Tragedy that could be a National Triumph
Americans, we can overcome this terrible decision to retire the shuttle. Each of you must talk the shuttle up-- about the benefits of it and the space program in general. NASA has a website devoted to spin-offs since NASA was establish in the 50's.
The retirement of the shuttle is tragic in many ways. Consider tha amount of taxpayer money that went into hardware design, fabrication, test, facilities, training all over this great country. Don't let the people in Congress/NASA who are lacking in basic commonsense do this to you and the nation.
I urge you and anyone you can convince to call, email, tweet, etc.,media in general and specifically Foxnews to get the points contained in The Case to Save the Shuttle covered in a series on nationwide TV. Also, Cain supports shuttle and American PREEMINCE in space, let him know how you feel.
Thanks, appreciate your help.

USA Direction in Space Is Up to You
NASA and Congress are headed in the wrong direction. All missions with HLV and commercial crew(CC) can be based from LEO. The shuttle and future improved shuttles can handle the placement of building blocks into LEO. As pointed out in the three papers referenced in this site, the shuttle has a proven record and well established capabilities. The present direction must be reversed or we are destined for significant failures and extensive delays in these ill-conceived missions. As Aldrin stated we should use and improve the shuttle, this would provide the required support for other missions to MARS, MOON, astroids etc. The way we are proceeding, we are wasting our investment in what we need-- the shuttle and essentially starting from scratch. What will happen is major accidents and subsequent funding issues, long delays and decades go by and the shuttle gathers dust----during this time we are not in space, people loose interest and so on. We have wasted large sums of money and what have we accomplished?
Further, we have placed the ISS in jeopardy and are paying the Russians for seats on vehicles that do not meet NASA manned rating requirements!!!
Additionally, we are giving millions in foreign aid to China, and wasting millions/billions in aid to others. Still, we can't fund shuttle after spending billions on its development.
If this does not make you mad, nothing will.
We must get this message to Congress. Otherwise we are doomed to lack of PREEMINENCE in space. China will be no. 1. We must not let this happen.
Contact your reps/senators and news media and let them know how you feel.

Why Foxnews will not air Main Points in The Case to Save the Shuttle
Read paper
Written many emails to foxnews to various people such as Dobbs, Hannity, Oriely, Bair, Kelly and others suggesting this is very important to country. You would think they would want to air this very important paper to be " Fair and Balanced". Open to any suggestions as to ways to get media attention. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced, continuing to fly the shuttle is very critical to the Nation's development in science, technology and goals for our children and grandchildren.

The way it is--- we must fly the shuttle
Read article
People whine about the army needed to fly shuttle, well if we are going to continue our preeminence in space, we must fly the shuttle. Yes it is expensive but look at what it can do. Improvements over the years can be made, but it will take time. All this talk about commercial crew is a pipe dream, crew loss will occur do to inadequate attention to safety issues, this will set CC back for years-- may never fly and when it does, can't come close to shuttle capability---while we have the shuttle in the garage----really makes lots of sense.
Wake up America, they are destroying this country space team, energy capability, health care system, currency value to name a few among many areas under attack.
Please contact network news, we need to get this issue aired to public.

It's in the prime of life, how could you put it in a museum?
As Cernan says, how could you put it in a museum? This can only be indicative of big time problems in DC leadership---- we must make a change. This is true for many areas of American business including the energy industry. Cain is for American preeminence in space and says retiring the shuttle was a bad decision. Cain needs briefing on the case to save the shuttle
and maybe he will support continuing the shuttle program. Mr Cain, America needs the shuttle NOW,keep it operational until we have equivalent capability operational.
Readers, contact media , get more coverage of this deplorable/tragedic situation.

Space leadership (or lack of)
The leadership in this country is totally inept. How can you place a machine with the shuttle capability and place in a museum and then pay a foreign country to put astronauts in space?
Plus most experts recommend keeping the shuttle operational until a replacement is in place.
And then the news media acts like it is wonderful the way our program is going.
Furthermore, the commercial crew systems when they are operational will not even approach the shuttle capability.
Contact media and suggest coverage of the following would be appropriate.
The Case to Save the Shuttle
On the retirement of the shuttle
The nonsensical retirement of the shuttle
The first is on PBS----google save the shuttle----it's in first few.
Other two on Facebook group--- keep the shuttle flying
