Dunfermline Astronomical Society

Hello Geoff and friends from the DASOC:
As you know our President cancelled the Constellation project. even though the first test flight of the ARIES rocket was a success.
Hard Times have hit us all! I have hundreds of friends that will be losing their jobs once the Space Shuttle contract is over with. And with no real "SPACE DIRECTION".... What is in store for the future? It's all politics, and I hate It!

Sure the Atlantis Space Shuttle is posing on the Launch Pad and is ready for it's May 14th Launch, and we hope nothing but the best to our astronaut friends and those living in the Space Station,  But the truth Is..... That just gets us one mission closer to closing the doors or jobs for a bunch of people. Until we can come up with a good firm "Space DIRECTION",

The Space Industry in Central Florida and the rest of the country is going to be hurting BAD. I don't want to bring any one down, but It's the plain truth, jobs will be LOST!

 But on a good note!.... I have a piece I copied from the NASA website, with the latest on the Space Shuttle Atlantis! May she fly TRUE and return home Safely with her Crew!
