sad day

STS-135 astronauts strap in.

Woke up this morning... Radio on.  Last flight of the Shuttle. Reporter reports: "There are no other shuttles, the last two are being prepared for display in museums.  If something happens to Atlantis while the astronauts are in the Space Station, they will have to wait for Russian rockets to come get them".

Well, that's that.  Could there possibly be a more poignant metaphor for the end of American hegemony.  President Kennedy, time to roll over in your grave.
