I’m not a huge space buff, but I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that yesterday was the final flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery. With over 148 million miles and 365 days in space to it’s credit, more than any other single spacecraft today, it’s place in space history is secure.
Fittingly, it’s final resting place will be the Smithsonian.

And …it ALL happened in YOUR lifetime … the lad and lass won’t remember and will have to study it in school … but the program was active while you were growing up !!
It is kind of strange to think that- an era come and gone within a lifetime.
Of course, having seen Star Wars now, I expect the kids will just assume that Imperial Cruisers are the norm when it comes to space flight…
