The space shuttle Endeavour and its crew is safely back on Earth. The shuttle landed Sunday in California, after being diverted from Florida because of bad weather. (Dec. 1)
It should still wow you that we can get humans to go tens of thousands of miles per hour and land them safely after something as intense as reentry.
The cost of flying in space, in this economy is almost our country's deficit. NASA is looking for ways to go to space without emptying the country's pocket when we barely have coins as it is.
NASA will wow us just like they always have. The precision and efficiency that they build and use equipment is amazing in itself.
It' just not going to be the same with the new Ares rockets, is it? Admittedly, the shuttles have their faults and flaws, but seeing a spaceship land on a runway has got to be loads better than watching something float down from space to splash in the ocean. Shouldn't NASA be taking a step or two forward rather than a massive sidestep and one step back? I'm eager to get to Mars, but the space program should wow us not just take us from point A to point B. Am I wrong or right?
'touchdown'. Wait, who won? What?
