All it needs is a 4th door. It comes in very handy on my Tristar. I've seen them retrofitted on bay window trucks. BTW, my father owned Boardwalk, so it's nice to see the old parts truck treated so nicely.

Small world.
Haven't seen a 4th door on a bay. I have a '86 DoKa, and a 4th door would be nice.

The private companies will (and I hope I'm wrong) have some fatal accidents in space as well. There's a thousand things that have to go exactly right to send humans into space and return them safely.

True. Im fully aware of the risks and difficulty. However, the Shuttle was a compromised design from the beginning. The development should really have gone through the Apollo Applications Program.

I hope you are not wrong. I hope that space travel becomes so common that fatal accidents are regarded the same way they are on hwys, boat, trains, and air travel.
