A Single Tear In Space

Well today marked the day of the last launch and the end of NASA's space shuttle program. Watching the videos and goodbye's, its hard not to shed a tear to the end of something amazing. Sadly I never had the opportunity to go watch a live launch at Cape Canaveral, but maybe someday I will get that opportunity. Until then, we can enjoy the human built angel in the sky, the International Space Station and the memories of all the launches.

The Shuttles:
Columbia
Challenger
Discovery
Atlantis
Endeavour

And of course, although just use for test flights:
Enterprise

Also, we will never forget those who lost their life in the Columbia and Challenger disasters.
