For those Who love the space Shuttle(believe me or not) its NOT ending!!
My Mom was dating a man who worked for NASA and he said "NASA is stoping the space shuttle for now... Because were getting New Designs for the space shuttle to lower launch cost"
I'm somewhat sad that the fleet is retiring this year, but very honored that California, and specifically Southern California (Los Angeles), will become the final resting place for Space Shuttle Endeavor, which means it will be close enough to where I live to make it possible for me to see it someday in person.
For everything that happened... the Shuttle proves that the exploration of space isn't done. What will follow will be based on what was learned before. And innovation and courage are the other 2 horses that will pull humankind to other places... to the planets and one day... the stars.
Space Shuttles build the ISS, Space Shuttles bring satelites in space and repar it (with their astronauts^^) and then, space shuttles came back to earth. why did the area goes to end? space shuttles are great
@NewGameDE The Space Shuttle was more than a vehicle. It was a government program for manned/cargo into Earth orbit. During it's history, nobody tried to compete with it's design. Money can be made in Space, telecommunication is proof of that. But with all the things to make that vehicle go up plus the risks... And NASA facing downsized checks... times change. X-15s and Apollo went the same way. A well financed company, with better designs and goals will be the shuttle's replacement.
Yes, I agree but it comes to one point in which a vehicle faith is decided by technological and economical aspects. Why not be optimistic for the future, surely we´ll have something else to appreciate.
We can't leave space. We just can't. We've got to keep the momentum going or we'll lose the dream til who know's when/

What would be the one thing you would say to a class about this program, if you had the chance
