what of the old shuttle? or NASA's last launch in general?
Either way Space exploration is all going private, it's not like we won't be going into space, it just won't cost $5,000,000 per launch to get there. Private space programs have got people into space for as little as $12,000 total cost (that's for the entire space program not just the one flight).
I watched the replay. But I was disappointed, their very last launch ever, and the shuttle left the launch pad before the countdown reached 0... /facepalm
Psssh. They stopped the clock at thirty seconds and that's not even the official clock. But like Jeff goldbum said in jurrasic park. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

I'm happy/sad.
