Space Shuttle Launch: Equator vs. Mountains
• Rhett Allain via WIRED.comIt is difficult to believe that this will be the last space shuttle launch. Clearly, I must do something to commemorate this event. But what? How about I look at space ships in orbit and consider the energy required. WITH GRAPHS.
When you compare the cost to build and run the shuttles with the cost of Spaceship 1, both the shuttles and the whole space program should have never been funded. They/it are one of the biggest scams (next to the medical, the IRS and the banking system) that have existed in America.
