I agree on the end of the shuttle program; to a whole generation of kids, that IS the space program. It seems like such a great solution for regular trips to the space station. I still have my Space Shuttle Operator’s Manual from 1982!

I grew up during the Gemini and Apollo programs and remember clustering around a little TV to watch the first moon walk while I was at scout camp. I’ve always been fascinated by space and was pretty certain as a kid that I would have been there by now. I wonder how long it will be until it is routine for us to visit space.

They are even better in person. Growing up on the Space Coast we routinely get out of class to watch.

It’s too bad they’re shutting down the shuttle program. As a kid who came of age in the 80s, they represent the space program.
