... during the space race, people like Alan Shepard and John Glenn were the big heroes of my formative years. Every launch of Mercury, Gemini and early Apollo was riveting -- everyone payed attention.
Frankly, I find it tragic and an overwhelming symbol of American decline that we have ended the shuttle program without a cutting edge technology replacement.
Thanks for the memory.
