(Sorry for delay; was on (gasp!) internet-less trip). I was a big fan of the Space Shuttle at the time, especially the reusability of it. But the reality of the system certainly seemed to have a great number of problems. My father worked for years at Westinghouse on various space (and ocean) related stuff, both…

So (coming from someone like me with an interest in space flight, but little technical knowledge of it), I guess my question is: so what the heck happened? Like many of you, I'm in the tech industry, where I've watched hardware and software evolve from the 70s through today. Considering that the claims Musk and…

For speed issues, it's certainly a possibility — depends on how much you can trust that, "won't affect your network" statement.
