Thanks. I forwarded the second one to her teacher and I just got a text from my daughter that he is showing it to them in class right now!! You see how much you impact the lives of American school children??!!

About the Space Shuttle, I was talking with my dad about that one. Is the picture suggesting that you could launch a weapon from the Space Shuttle? If so, that is something that neither of us thought about before.

The space shuttles were one of the key components of the SDI. It was estimated that the cost to deploy the nuclear weapon onto space and maintaining it there would be reduced by the space shuttles.
