IBEW Workers Face End of Space Shuttle Era

Nice video. Shuttle should have ended a long time ago. Preferably after its 2nd or 3rd mission when the proved re-usability. They should have known after the those flights how totally unpractical and dangerous the Shuttle actually is. There was a lot of opportunity missed and Astronauts that never got to go to space because the cost of Shuttle was so outrageous and held back the US.

As an apprentice this both inspiring and heart wrenching, I can see the arguments on both sides and they both might have there points, but i just cant accept the privatization of space and the way nasa has been sold out as anything but an abomination

it's a beautiful sight and feeling every time you see it launch. January 16 2003 was a sad day i remember seeing it live that day :(

so this will be the last flight of this space shuttle untill retirement? they'll either take it to air space muzeum, or decommission this shuttle and scraped it.
