"The US manned space program ends in a little more than 2 hours. May our ancestors and our descendants forgive us."

This on July 21,2011 - the 42nd anniversary of the Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong becoming the 1st man to walk on the surface of the moon (on July 21, 1969).

DISGRACEFUL!

“...This on July 21,2011 - the 42nd anniversary of the Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong becoming the 1st man to walk on the surface of the moon (on July 21, 1969)....”

A little nit-picking here. Neil and Buzz landed and walked on the moon on July 2oth. They launched from Tranquility Base on the 21st. But who’s counting.

On a personal note, That day, today’s final landing of the space shuttle program and my 10th wedding anniversary will be forever welded together. Those are all great dates.
