Kid still seems to be wearing the same T-Shirt!

I so wish NASA had better PR. They couldn't even sell Apollo 13 until "the problem". How can a Shuttle launch not be as cool as, say, a NASCAR race?

I for one am going to miss seeing those old busses getting shot into space. Especially with no worthy successor in sight. Cram 4 people into the small Orion capsule for weeks to visit an asteroid? Who in the world thinks that would be a good idea.

This is not meant as a political remark, rather me not understanding the merits of that technology. Maybe it's bigger on the inside!
