Space shuttle Atlantis and its seven astronauts are back on Earth. Atlantis landed Sunday morning in California, ending a successful 13-day mission to fix the Hubble Space Telescope. (May 24)
With the cost of "3" Shuttle launches (1.7 billion p/launch) in one year vs "714" launches per year with SpaceX Falcon9 (50 Million p/launch). ** Thats only 21 people (Shuttle) vs 4,998 people (Falcon9). Falcon9 is also the safest rocket the US has ever had with the ability to turn of engines mid flight and abort at any time.
Nasa has retired all space shuttles ! The have a new shuttle design that will enter service in 2014. United states astronauts will have to hitch a ride with the Russians to get to space until the new shuttle enters service
the astronauts were like "YEAH Finally we gunna fuck someone tonight besides the aliens!"

It's still a 30 year old space glider. I would like to see something new considering NASA's budget.
