Well, Michael said the space shuttle was on its last legs, and whether anyone finds humor in it or not (and if you re-read his and my posts, I think it's obvious WE don't), sadly it is true...

Trust me, media coverage of NASA and the American space program is as extensive here as anywhere in the country, and the word most definitely was (and I say was because were we blessed with a near perfect lift-off after all) had there been ANY major problems with today's launch, that could very well have marked the end of the program.

As is - last shuttle to fly. Ever...

Personally, I find all this offensive...
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, although it would be helpful if you could be more specific. On the other hand, we just as entitled to ours, and as someone who has just joined this site, you need to realize that long-time members in an Off Topic Forum have a right to "shoot the breeze" as it were...

I'm not sure you're really getting what we've been saying. We are BIG space fans, most definitely FOR new and exciting things from NASA, not against it. Why do you think we're upset by the state of the program and the potentially bleak future it holds???
