In case you missed it, the last space shuttle to lift off did .......... lift off this morning. It will be at least three years - possibly five or more - before astronauts launch again from U.S. soil, and so this final journey of the shuttle era packed in crowds and roused emotions on a scale not seen since the Apollo moon shots.
I registered quite a few weeks ago, in hopes to buy tickets to the last launch (to then turn them around into a profit lol) but I was notified that I didn't make the list to buy them. Bummer. I figured I could have made a pretty penny.
