For many, this is long overdue and the space shuttle program is a shell of what it once was.

Still, for me, and I suppose many others my age and older, this is pretty big that today is the final launch of the space shuttle. I remember in the 80s when, even aside from the Challenger disaster, it was a major event when the shuttle launched.

And I'm sure there are those who remember when the program started and how big a deal that was
