Awesome ‘Space Shuttle’ Video Ping
I was there for the very last shuttle launch. It was interesting to see how many people from different countries were there as well. It rained most of the night and we had a miserable night sleeping in our truck. But somehow I just knew the flight was going to go. It was a most spectacular sight.
It was also a bittersweet moment knowing that a program that I watched starting with Allan Shepard’s sub-orbital flight had ended. It was said well earlier. we are no longer a country capable of great deeds and bold visions. We have become a country of whiners and beggars.
To all who participated in the Manned Space Program, well done. To our political elites, for shame.
