Rocket to Nowhere

2011-07-09 17:42:28.469039+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So the FaceTwitPlusSpace streams are ablaze with bemoaning the last space shuttle mission. Color me not sad. The space shuttle was a way overpriced compromise that NASA will be better rid of, and now they can get on with the stuff that makes more of a difference, including improving the quality of unmanned missions.

For some good reading on why I (and many others) will shed no tears for the space shuttle, may I suggest Maciej Ceglowski's A Rocket To Nowhere.
