OT: 2010 could be end of space shuttle era

So when Apollo ended in 1973 did you think America was over?

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?

The sad thing is that we didn’t fund enough or didn’t plan well enough for there to have been a shuttle replacement on deck for when it retires. So in the meantime we’ll be paying the Russians for rides on their rockets. No, America is not over, but my how the mighty have fallen.

It’s not that bad, considering that Russians will be providing rides on rockets whose original design dates back to 1965. They had even less progress than we did.
