Days gone by never to be seen again. Maybe never have manned capability again at the pace things are going.

NASA’s new mission is to build bridges to the moslem world.I think that effort is succeeding as evidenced by moslems’ ability to essentially put 100+ innocent Bostonians into near earth orbit a couple of weeks ago.

My uncle worked on the electronics of the Space Shuttle along with Apollo, Gemini and Mercury too. Before that he worked on the Titan IA and II.

To touch the face of God.

Some touched and saw His cheek. Some touched and fell. But God saw all and held them in His embrace.

The heroes of generations will be written on the walls of the steps of humanity.

It wan't Hober Mallow, it was so many of much stronger mettle.

NASA evoked too much national patriotism, so the globalists and their puppet 0bama had to put a stop to that.

While in no way denigrating the technical achievements of the shuttle, basically, it was a bad idea in the first place..the result of a complete lack of vision both at NASA and in the WH. After an incredibly successful manned lunar program, they actually cancelled the final scheduled missions (for which the rockets had already been built) and decided that instead of either establishing a base on the moon, or aiming for the planets, we were instead going to spend gazillions to just put man in orbit around the planet. Yes, the shuttles were reusable, but to what end..
