For the first time ever, i’m with patb! My geekish roots are firmly entrenched with the shuttle, but like all things, technology changes, it’s actually kinda suprising they made it this far. One of my fondest memories will always be driving out to edwards afb to see it land, here’s a recap. My cousin drove a vehicle that got 8 mpg to the landing strip and we listened to some tunes on 8 track during the journey and somehow there is a connection to the end of the world that the shuttle is retiring?
