That drawing spoke for an entire generation that admired and lived the "Exploration Generation".

One summer, I eas visiting my family in New Orleans when I saw on the news that the shuttle would be visible on its way to a landing in Florida. The newscaster said tha shutte would be flying from west to east and would be visible at a certain time. I convinced my mother and sister to go outside and watch with me. About 10 minutes went by and I knew my mother and sister were getting skeptical about my "bright" idea, when all of a sudden we saw the shuttle fly by. We were mesmerized. By the time we got back in the house, the shuttle had already landed in Florida. I will never forget that experience.

I grew up in Florida and followed the space flights from the Mercury missions through all the Shuttle missions. I was fortunate enough to be able to witness many launches over the years at the Space Center. It was a wonderful time of learning about space and children dreaming of growing up to become astronauts. We all felt the pride in every flight sent up and the sorrow in every tragedy. These drawing from Red and Rover depicting the Shuttle are very poignant.

Why commemorate America's abandonment of leadership in space exploration?

Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them on reading valueless books.

That was very mean of the paparazzi to snap pictures when he was vulnerable and uh- exposed...!
There is more of the story. The police can over to bam and novak. Bam told novak to leave. Novak did leave.

I like the writing structure of your blog and it does a pretty decent job of presenting the material.

There is no doubt that though their rivals in green are not only very smart but excellent foils for complexions brightened by exercise.

The space shuttle program has done so much for us in terms of scientific achievements, it's a shame that they're retiring the program.
