Though many American's have forgotten about the shuttle program us "oldies" remember it with awe.  It is sad to see this era of our space exploration come to an end.

Wow!

Gary,

It still thrills me!

What a shame Bush and Obama wasted all that money of a stimulus that didn't! With the exception of the two world wars nothing has ever stimulated our economy like the space program! Nothing! Look at all we gained from going to the moon!

Here we sit in front of our computers, our cell phones with in reach, thinking about heating up brunch in a micro wave! I've got to do some running later go out and drive my computer controlled car.

I've got to go to the local equivalent of the DMV. O'well some things never change!

I hope the Russians let us visit our space station.

I still think it's great.  I remember going there once to see 'one of them' making it towards the lift off pad & it was just awesome.  It's on that tractor style mover & it sinks a foot into the ground as it goes along.

Did you notice the turn signal?

The Space Shuttles are just breathtaking.  They are flippin' HUGE.  Gives me goosebumps just to think of it blasting into space in a matter of seconds.

Impressive.  We don't see much of those launches anymore.  Your perspective on this photo makes me think how small we all are in the grand scheme of things.  And, now finding out that there is another planet out there that could support life AS WE KNOW IT, makes me even more humble.

Gary, This is going to be a bittersweet launch for all of us here in Brevard County FL (for you too, having lived here)  It will definitely be one that is remembered for years to come.

Absolutely beautiful.  Makes you realize how small we are in comparison to what exists in space.
