Approaching the end of an era


(Photo courteousy of Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Community)

Now this is not sports related, however, I felt the need to mention this, due to the fact I'm a space geek. In a little over an hour, the Space Shuttle Atlantis will be making her last scheduled launch at Kennedy Space Center. The crew will be delivering a Russian built research module to the International Space Station. After the launch of Atlantis, there are only 2 more scheduled Shuttle launches (Discovery & Endeavour) before the Shuttle program ends. It is still on my bucket list, so come hell or high water, my rear end will watch one of the final 2 launches in person. If anyone feels like they want to donate to my cause, please let me know! Donations are greatly appreciated! In all seriousness, this is a sad day as the "work horse" of the shuttle fleet will head to space for the last time. We are very lucky to have seen some amazing progression in space exploration during the 30 years of the NASA Space Shuttle program.
