It's a real shame that we (as a country) are so short sighted as to allow our political "leadership" to surrender our space program to the Russians and Chinese.

I have always wanted to personally see a shuttle launch and recovery... May never get a chance now.. thanks for the pic Tom.

Having grown up next to the Space Center I've been watching launches since 1958. (With a 22 year hiatus for a military career.) It's never boring.
