I was just writting a reply when the damn internet stuffed up. Now I gotta start again. So frustrating.
I did read the article. I read the first half fully, and only skimmed through the second half because 1) got too lazy and bored and 2) I noticed it was only rabbiting on about 'the shuttle doesn't do real science' or 'manned missions get more money for less'.
Your point is "Future archaeologists trying to understand what the Shuttle was for are going to have a mess on their hands."
Mine is "stuff future archaeologists, this isn't about what they 'might' think, but what is true and actually happening.
I think Slice of Heaven said it best: I think he goes a bit over the top.
I wouldnt say the shuttle program was a total flop as he's suggesting.
In 'hindsight' it's always easy to find flaws.
I'm not saying that shuttle like craft are the way to go. I have full confidence in capsule vehicles. I just don't think that article gives the shuttle the credit it deserves.
