Was this a more economical approach than launching those missions on an expendable rocket, and just building brand new satellites?
The shuttle program launched 135 missions at a cost of $209 billion (2010 dollars).

Highly recommend this irreverent podcast by 2 engineers and former NASA contractors. They get out above their skies on some topics but the shuttle content is fun.
Episode 1: Why do Blake and Craig think the Space Shuttle was stupid? https://youtu.be/KRlD8SdFmaE
Episode 18: Challenger https://youtu.be/H98IGl7pSfQ

Critical care medic here. Adult CPR at least has some evidence in its favor on a population level, but only as a bridge to using electricity. CPR alone is merely slowing deaths arrival.
There is NO evidence to support any of the commonly used advanced cardiac life support drugs in terms of functioning brain leaving the hospital. Epinephrine (for arrest, not shock or anaphylaxis), atropine, lidocaine, amiodarone, procainamide, digitalis, etc. Its electricity or bust.
Just one of many reviews on this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4129833/

I believe so... however it is gold unlike most of the media pics showing a white Lexus.

A vehicle with a similar external sensor array has been parked in a lot near my workplace every weekday at lunch time for the past several weeks. Given the proximity to AC3 at Central and Wolfe, my coworkers and I had all assumed it was an Apple test of some kind.
Accords with the rumor mill surrounding Apple leasing a former Pepsi bottling plant down the street.

A giant leap backwards in information density.
The "in the news" section is just trending hashtag fluff.
"Easier Navigation" == More clicks to access the same content.
And best of all... no option in settings to opt out.

For 8 years, this man had the option to walk humanity back from the threat of hair-trigger, launch-on-warning nuclear armageddon. An armageddon that would either destroy humanity in a single day...or perhaps merely starve a few billion in the resulting nuclear winter. From these facts alone, I know everything I need to know about his, and all US presidents, commitment to the health of their citizens, and humanity at large.

More unethical than manufacturers of nuclear weapons components, missiles and drones?
Makes for a nice soundbite but I hope he doesn't actually believe this given Lockheed, Texas Instruments, General Dynamics, etc. are all a part of SV.
