We don't seem to be getting much new R&D for our money these days now that you bring it up.<br /><br />Once we were regularly going to the moon, how much did it really cost? Not much compared to the crap we throw money at these days.<br /><br />The abs are still there but camouflaged as a different shape.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-11135749472730554452018-12-20T13:33:38.247-05:002018-12-20T13:33:38.247-05:00Sam, it leaked fuel on the ground for sure.
