Well this is it, NASA’s human spaceflight becomes a memory after the landing of Atlantis this morning. Thousands of people gave all they had to the various programs over the years and now their efforts are essentially being tossed away but those efforts were not for naught and they will be remembered by some of us. some would say well there are the other missions in the works, the sad truth is the human program was probably the toughest nut to crack and the rest could be cancelled quite easily. Fortunately there are other countries out there with the foresight to continue to build their programs.

We are hanging our hats on private industry and they will not disappoint I am sure as long as the economy doesn’t preclude it.

So hopefully this UStream video link works and we can watch live, I will admit I will be watching on NASA TV as well.
