“Take a good last look.”

That’s the second to last launch of our manned space program. When it’s over we’ll be dependent on the Ruskies to get us to LEO - just the way the Leftist in this country like it.

If there aren’t any significant delays in SpaceX’s space technology development we should be able to have a private, manned space program by about 2014.

The sad part is, he's getting rid of this wonderful science so holder's peeps can have more entitlements...that is so sad for a great country like America.

I found this old video footage today and thought I would share it. I have never seen a video quite like this one.

This was filmed 13 March 1989, and documents the actual reentry and burnup of Discovery’s external fuel tank from STS 29...

Oh Boy!

I can't wait to what the "next generation" version of the shuttle looks like.

The Endeavour will deliver to the ISS, among other things, an ambitious detector called the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 2 (AMS),

I hope the AMS does well. It could make up some for us not building a better particle collider, and be the first worthwhile project for the ISS, other than making work for the Shuttle, and sucking up limited funds that could have been put to better use.
