Well...I didn't get up on the web till 1998, so don't judge me by my

I instinctively hated it years before that...

I didn't "hate" it in 1984. But I'd already been struck since 1981 by
how hard everyone was pretending the Shuttle was a solution instead of
a first step. So the Freedom announcement just seemed like a
double-dip of delusion. I claim no prescience in thinking at the time
that if it happened at all it would be much smaller, more costly, and
slower to build than projected.
