Disquieting thought — 2 years ago
NASA is looking for contractors to take over the space shuttle runs to the space station. That means that by 2010, the shuttles will be commercial, or they’ll be extinct. I find that very disturbing. I knew that space wasn’t going to remain a government area forever, but I also didn’t really believe that it would happen in my lifetime.
Still, if a commercial company takes over the runs, at least there’s a continuing opportunity to see the launches.
