NASA Shuttle Endeavor STS-134 Launch

The Endeavor is the next to last time that Main Street USA will have the opportunity to witness a Space Shuttle rocket into space.

After 30 years the NASA program is coming to an end.

And that is sad. The technological benefits that have been developed during the past three decades as a result of NASA's work have been immense.

Suffice it to say, there are many Americans who do not wish to see this program end, despite the cost. However, the cost is less that annual foreign aide that our country sends overseas.

Here then, is the NASA video of the launch:

The final flight is scheduled in July 2011 with Atlantis.

This blogger was fortunate enough to have been on hand September 25, 1997, as the Atlantis Mission, STS-86, launched from the Kennedy Space Center. It was a spectacle to behold.

Over For Now.
