Eyes Turned Skyward

When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Mission complete, Houston. After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has earned its place in history, and it’s come to a final stop.

  1. No more space shuttle flights - and no replacement plan. I am very sad.

  2. Tina, I agree.

    I don't understand the decision to discontinue the program, without another technology in place or in development, and after all the major expenses have been made. The flights were darn near at "incremental" cost, now.
