[BRPORSCHE]

Ok I am not really sure, but I am almost positive Russia has landed there. They sent drones only though, not humans.

After we were finished with Apollo the government decided they wanted to test the affects of zero g on the human body. You might remember that a Saturn V rocket, the same rocket that sent man to the moon also put skylab in orbit.

Now that we have a very good grasp of what happens to the human body with information from the russians from Mir, and our own collaborative effort with the Internation Space Station we are extending our arms. The shuttle is going to be phased out by 2010-2015.

The succesor to the shuttle orbiter will look at lot like the saturn V just a lot smaller. The Saturn V was meant to go very long distances.

Hope this heps alf.
