      Well that's good. Advancing is for LOSER races.
      The IMPORTANT thing is that my phone can update my Facebook status.
      They're shutting down the shuttle program, not the whole space program. We'll be working on different means and vehicles for deeper space exploration, primarily through commercial companies like Boeing and SpaceX.

      ...oh.

      ...

      I was seriously starting to doubt mankind's hope for the future.
      When we stop trying to explore space, that's when you'll know that we are an endangered species.

      Lol sloth. I thought the same. It's apparently because the shuttle is too expensive. Even though it was built to be cheap, as it's re-usable.

      They're gonna have a new one by 2016 that article says.

      EDIT: Sniped like a mutha fucka

      I saw it live. Never actually watched one before. Seemed like watching the official opening to the decline of the USA.

      Spent some time watching the Space Station live feed... that is awesome.

      Nobody on the planet has any clue...

      We could of course be ridiculously optimistic and suggest a Russian/Chinese/USA/European collaboration.

      Nah, that'll be me man.

      Seriously though, that sad thing is we will define the person by nationality. Even when we've reached another planet. Instead of just saying "Earthlings have reached Mars".

      Hats off to my cousin Pierre for being part of the shuttle program. Lucky bastard.

      He flew on STS-36 (1990, Atlantis), STS-49 (1992, Maiden voyage of Endeavour), and STS-62 (1994, Columbia). I need to dig out the videos I have of him and the crew dicking around on the shuttle. One of the crew members brought fucking skis.
