Amazing era of US space exploration is over and with no concrete plans for the future, what will today's kids dream of? Who will be their space Heros?
Bummed but also very glad for the renewed memories.
Thanks Jordy!!

It's disappointing that the nation that was always first in space, ended its best space program. It's a shame that we've fallen out of the lead in the space race. It seems that another country stepping ahead will have to wake us up.
A ton of people keeping telling "Shuttle nerds" like myself to move on to the next craft. Eventually, I'll accept that what's done is done. But the Space Shuttle will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you all for sharing this experience.
