Call it "Lives of the Noteworthy" or something as a play on the ubiquitous "Lives of the Saints" titles found in christian bookstores.

I wouldn't say quite a few. I know because my wife almost was almost never around when I watched the show. The only time boobies were shown were the times she happened to step in the room.

You can order one pizza and give $5 and it will be quite a good tip. Order 8 pizzas and give $5, alright, that's still solid. Order 100 pizzas and give $5, that's kinda mediocre.

So it kinda is based on a percentage?

The shuttle program was shut down because it was a lot more expensive than originally envisioned. The initial budget estimates assumed almost one launch per week. The whole point of the shuttle was quick turn around between launches.

Instead that turned into one a month and gradually even less than that. The final nail in the coffin was the Columbia accident. It wasn't even close to fulfilling its original objective and it was costing exorbitant amounts of money to perform missions that traditional spacecraft could perform much cheaper.

No one can deny the cool factor of the shuttle, but many believe we would have been much better off if we would have stuck to conventional designs.
