Such a cool picture, but it's sad at the same time.

I'm glad that you skipped on the V-neck t-shirt this time around.  cheeky

Great for someone - again, not me. I'm too young to be the guy in the photo and dad didn't make it to see the last launch.

Fixed that for you.  You do realize that the shuttle fleet being retired is not necessarily the end of the space program, right?

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
