Unfortunately knowing that the US can't build muscle cars that go around corners, they may have F15 straight line speed, but they will turn like a Cessna 150  ;D ;D

So do Microlights. I think what your trying to say is space shuttle sized turning radius.

As far as spacecraft go, the shuttle is one of the most manuverable. The capsules can't really change direction at all in the atmoshere. And while its in space, it can turn 360 degrees without even moving (other than orbiting):

;D ;D ::)

I'm not sure I'd want my country be defended by people who can be so easily led.  ;D

USAF: Would you like a career in the air force sonny?
Spotty youth: No thank you sir, it's not really my scene & I don't think I'd be very good at coping with a military lifestyle.
USAF: We've got two pimped cars.
Spotty youth: Hot Damn!! Sign me up!!
