Will it be the last? No! Will they get the "full" 16-17 flights by 2010? Doubt it. The weather and typical small, niggling engineering issues will irritate and scratch at the schedule.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I'll be rooting for Nasa to accomplish as much as possible till the CEV is ready. You know, I've recently been transferring all my old videotapes of newsclips about Shuttle and other space issues to DVD for posterity. And the one thing that amazed me was how not that long ago, dozens of Shuttle flights would roar upwards, again and again and again in (apparent) safety for year after year.<br /><br />We can see that again, especially if STS-121 flies safely with no major issues. Let us all remember that except for the PAL ramp shedding, STS-114 could be considered an overwhelming success and a true poke in the eye to the naysayers and critics.<br /><br />GO DISCOVERY!!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!
