I'm sorry but that shuttle looks like it was in sorry shape. I do however, have the fullest confindence in NASA engineers. Next time politicians vote to cut NASA funding, I hope they remember this. Afterall, this shuttle was 22 years old.

Forgive the silly memory but I saw this beautiful pic and remembered a few months when the family was watching From the Earth to The Moon. My husband couldn't belive it when I said I always thought the old Space Rocket style were the product of cartoons. I only always remember shuttles.


I recall two significant events that I basically missed during childhood. Twice in my school career the principal came over the loud speaker to inform of us some history making moment we had just missed while sitting in the classroom away from reality. One was the coming down of the Berlin Wall and the other was the Challenger explosion.
