Great article in the New York Post by (the Bad) astronomer Phil Plait about the shuttle program, its completion and the future of NASA’s space exploration endeavors.
“It’s fashionable to say the Shuttle program was a failure — too expensive, too limited. But progress is not a steady curve. Not all steps are leaps.”
