What do you think of this idea- a bunch of us getting together for the last shuttle launch? Might be kinda neat to meet others from BABB and we could get to see history in the making as well. Also, just curious but what would the mission number be-
STS 1--? I might start a Facebook group.

I definitely want to go down to Florida for a launch someday; if not the Shuttle then Orion. Going for the last Shuttle launch might be good idea, though I'll still be working then. By the time Orion flies I should be retired.

Well, not meaning to be morbid, but depending on how reentry goes, it could be STS120, or STS122. . .

One more "major malfunction" and they'll never fly again, that much is clear. We just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Optimism is one of the cornerstones of the space program. I've been promising myself I'd be down there for one of them. 133 sounds good to me.

I saw one launch from a distance, sent the Z Truss up. Got kin in Melbourne.
It would be special to see another before it's over.

I'm hoping to make it down for 125, if at all possible. I definitely would love to see one before the shuttle is retired.

I saw an Apollo launch. Never seen a shuttle launch. Would like to see Orion's first trip!

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
