[net.space] Von Braun on shuttle

Somebody doubted that von Braun had ever likened the shuttle to an
elephant in a lifeboat ("... alleged statement ...").  When I went to
NASA Headquarters in 1975 it was already common knowledge there.  I
doubt that von Braun or anyone else ever wrote it down.

So what.  To quote Tom Lehr:

'... think of all the widows and cripples in old London Town,
who owe their large pensions to Werner Von Braun.'
