it will one day. too bad well all be dead by then. lol
stuff like that makes you feel so small. i want to be an astronaut.
We really want to get out to the Cape and see a lift off before the shuttle program is halted at the end of this year. It's so hard to plan though given the delays involved with launches.
It truly boggles my mind that the shuttle is being retired. The new rockets that NASA keeps exploding in launch attempts are (at least in appearance) throwbacks to the days of the Appolo program. How can so many scientits not come up with a better design? It's wild. Don't they have a room with brainiacs just thinking up crazy new shuttle designs???
Awesome pics - would be very cool to have a view like that from home!!

Freudian slip?
boobies are awesome.
seriously though, you kind of just have to accept the fact that you can die on a space shuttle.
When I was stationed in Norfolk, we used to get underway to go sit off the coast of Florida and watch the shuttles take off (I saw 2). We were there "just in case." It was cool to watch.
Have they come up with a decent replacement for the Shuttle yet?
I didn't know the end for the shuttle program was as soon as the end of this year!
yes, we teleport nowadays. keep up.

So, figure on about 2020 and 2x over budget too.
Very cool pics!

they're actually trying to decide whether to accelerate that program or extend the shuttle until orion is available.
something about us not wanting to depend on the russian space program for travel to/from the iss during the gap in service. ;D
Hi guy's,
well from a limey's point of view that was "THE DOG'S" [clap] [clap] [clap]
it certainly was my cup of tea, bloody amazing.
