The impact is a positive one. Please see Randolph's Rant to help you out with facts since you have none.

[NewGuardNetwork]

Your comment has not factual data to support it.

[NewGuardNetwork]

The shuttle was a mess of a program that wasted billions. People voted for change and I at least applaud this one.



[NewGuardNetwork]

The shuttle program needed to end. I'm proud some of our leaders finally recognized that instead of just trying to save face...

i think its pretty amazing that the 30 years space shuttle program cost less than the AIG bailout.

I am not American, I am from Guatemala, a third world developed country.

Your achievement is inspiring. Congratulations.

what a national disgrace that the politicans, as they usually do, have not the foresight or the common sense, to have cancelled this program way before it's time. Now, America has to hitch rides and outrageous prices to get our own to the space station we built. sickening.

This is the most amazing thing humanity ever acomplished. From the day we are born we are explorers before anything else.

@NewGuardNetwork The Shuttle Program Provided Cargo to be carried, EASIER. Also, More space. It ended after 30 years of service. Man, you are Ignorant.

[UndeadPizzaGuy]

@NewGuardNetwork While the program did need to end - to make way for the next generation capsule, the shuttle has not wasted a single dollar. It was the shuttle that taught us to create large modular spacecraft in orbit - on a completely different level than Mir. We needed that knowledge to pave the way to more important objectives, namely getting to Mars. Much the same way Gemini taught us how to rendezvous, and how Mercury taught us to stay alive. The shuttle was a necessary stepping stone.

@NewGuardNetwork idiot.

[ToothNroost]

@NewGuardNetwork Well What about Gps? Hubble Telescope? Iss? What would happen to those without the space shuttle? As it is a technilogical Marvel You are wrong to judge The shuttle You are just a idiot it brung us so many things Iss (Experimants that could help us e.g. Cure for...) And of course Hubble. The shuttle launched hubble. Hubble Brung us closer to understanding alot. Gps. Oh man what i couldnt do without that... Without the shuttle Aircraft and alot of other things Are Fucked. Idot...
