Today the Space Shuttle era ended.

Not the day’s most shocking news, of course, but the news we knew was coming so I’ve had time to process it. Will we ever see its like again? In a decade or two, it’s likely that no-one who walked on the Moon will still be alive. Where do we go from here? Do we go out into the stars, to explore and to learn, or don’t we? I know which future I’d rather see.
