The shuttle's last night flight I believe.

Worked without a glitch =)
When will these old type shuttles be replaced?

I've watched so many of these, I still reflexively tense up at t-minus 31 (when most pad aborts happen). And I still choke up every time they "go at throttle up."

Nice to know it isn't just me! :)

Awesome!

It was a spectacular launch.

Oops, sorry. I meant for that to be under the main reply.

So cool. I still don't really understand why they're retiring the shuttles without already having a suitable replacement ready to go. On the other hand, I haven't really put any effort into reading up on it :-p
