Even I consider that a little bit OTT... and I'm a Star Wars fan!

nice to see where our tax money is going, parade a 30 year old piece of plastic around the country and then blast it to a 130 billion dollar stater of the art, high tech space station, using a mutibillion dollar cutting edge space shuttle.

I doubt our taxes are paying for this.  Instead I'd bet someone is paying NASA quite a fee for the privelage.

Can they not just leave the star wars franchise to rest in peace now? 6 massive films, several thousand spin-offs and another, 30-minute, made-for-tv movie in the pipeline... I call that overkill....

I call 1408 posts in 100 days an overkill
