Before now, no one had mentioned the end of the
program. It was just too painful. Tears came to my eyes, too. I just couldn’t
think about the retirement of the Space Shuttle. It was just an awful thought.
Dalton spoke. “I certainly don’t understand, since the Space
Shuttles were built to be launched 100 times.
The shuttles have only flown approximately 30 times each. NASA needs to keep the Space Shuttle Program
until the United States has the capability to launch its own space rocket to
the Space Station, or even to the moon.
If we lose our edge, our economy will suffer. That’s what happened to
the Russians when they lost the race to the moon.”
I said, “Not only that, but it will affect the dreams and
hopes of our children. They will lose
their desire to be astronauts, scientists, mathematicians, and aerospace
engineers. Where will the technical
inspiration come from?”
Shirley said, “I don’t know.
I just think it is a shame. Shame on our Government, Congress, the
Senate and the President! All are contributing to the loss of our technical
edge.”
Shirley stomped her feet and shook her head, “Let’s get back to work. I just want to do my job, - while I still
have one.”

Hey Renne', I was just rereading my Drift Away blog and stumbled onto my post about you being an author. I am too now, about Sasquatch of all things! I hope you and John are both well.
