All good things must come to an end but we are dumb if we don’t have the replacement already in space before we drop theISS from orbit. We effed up without having a Shuttle program replacement for orbital transport, repair, and recovery and we should not let the Chinese have the only operational space station.
“We effed up without having a Shuttle program.”
True. When aberrant, democratic leaders cancelled the Shuttle program, thousands of jobs were lost in So Cal. The Shuttle was and still is the best machine ever built.
Lol! Yup. Coming up on 10 years since I got laid off/retired. Shorter lag between Apollo and shuttle but this lag is pretty lame. Oh well, it was an interesting 36 years. 🚀😀
Agreed.
