I miss the shuttle. :hailprobe:

Good news. For some reason I thought it was going to be in west Texas, but I think I am getting it confused with some other project.

Seconded. :hailprobe:

Saw this a couple of days ago in the paper. http://www.chron.com/default/article/JSC-s-future-may-hinge-on-Orion-spacecraft-2199497.php

Which is why I wish we would have kept the shuttle going at least until constellation was up and running, but no that had to be killed too. I did hear that they are still working with the Orion capsule though.

(Bias alert) I know people who worked with the shuttle program directly so I'm a little biased. Financials aside, the shuttle couldn't be beat for a LEO craft. With spacelab/spacehab modules installed it was like a mini-station. The shuttle itself was very different than anything tried before...
