And we grounded our Shuttles with no backup to the Russian rockets. One of the Apollo astronauts called this one months ago.

Cheney saw it coming
**** Cheney details exactly this fact in his soon to be released book (In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir) now available for pre-order at Amazon.com.

The Cygnus can deliver 4400lbs (2000kg)! Woo-hoo!
For comparison, the SES had the following: Maximum payload: 55,250 lb (25,060 kg) Payload to LEO: 53,600 lb (24,310 kg) Payload to GTO (geostationary): 8,390 lb (3,806 kg) Payload to Polar Orbit: 28,000 lb (12,700 kg) Payload bay dimensions: 15 by 59 ft (4.6 by 18 m)

The Shuttle could have put a school bus in orbit. Literally.
Oh well.

Yeah but the Shuttle is/was a disaster that sucked the space program dry. While NASA proudly flew the flag this low orbiter cost so much to build and operate that no replacement could even be designed. The Shuttle was picked because of the various options at the time it spread the most fat govt contracts to the most congressional districts. Once it was picked of course history was rewritten to pretend that the Shuttle was the divine choice rather than a money sucking hole.
And so the greed of politicians once again destroyed something good. Now all we do is send probes that fail to work once they reach Mars. Willy Ley is rolling on his grave.
