"The shuttle is an amazing piece of machinery," astronaut Stan Love said. "It blows away anything that can fly now or in the next 30 years."
Let's hope this prediction ends up being overly pessimistic.

STS-135: The Shuttle Program's Final Space Odyssey
This is, perhaps, the most disheartening statement i have ever heard from an astronaut;
"The shuttle is an amazing piece of machinery," astronaut Stan Love said. "It blows away anything that can fly now or in the next 30 years."
Let's hope this prediction ends up being overly pessimistic.

If all goes well, Atlantis will launch at 11:26am July 8, 2011. The mission will last 12 days and will be the last time in the foreseeable future that an astronaut will go into space in an American vehicle. IMHO this is a huge FAIL for the USA.
