IT HAS BEEN 30 YEARS SINCE NASA LAUNCHED A NEW SPACECRAFT AND ENGINEERS CAN HARDLY WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS ONE PERFORMS DURING ITS TWO AND A HALF MINUTE FLIGHT. 150,000 feet at a speed of Mach 4 before plunging into the Atlantic Ocean. The two minute flight is a critical test for the spaceship NASA hopes will one day take astronauts to the space station, then on the Moon, and perhaps Mars. THANKS LORILEE KEITH.
