Replace the Shuttle
30 December 2004: Astronaut says speed up plans for new craft, Huntsville Times
“The shuttle was designed almost 35 years ago, and it has been operated for almost a quarter of a century,” Garriott said. “By the time of NASA’s new plans to explore the moon it would be closer to 50 years of age. We need a replacement if (NASA) expects to succeed with its plans” to return to the moon and possibly go on to Mars.”
