My idea to cap the Gulf leak: use one of the external fuel tanks that are used to launch the space shuttle Cut the bottom of the fuel tank off. This would be the part to sit down over top of the leak on the ocean floor.  The top could be cut and serve as a funnel which would have a pipe welded to it and ran to the ships above. The large pipe would slow the velocity of the oil coming out making it more manageable and better insure that the pipe would stay connected to the make-shift cap.

is more better and cheaper on a 747 out to space the space shuttle and more safer will kill less people because the solid rocket bosster and that big fat tank is nothing but a nuclear bomg and at lift off the space shuttle go's trugh alot of streess making the shuttle weaker and weaker hope soon i will make computer graphics simulation 747 and the space shuttle 747 also must be intall with jet engines because at a climit point theres no oxygen..
