Quite an historic day for us Baby Boomers who were born well before, the manned space flight projects began 60 years ago. I was one of those young boys who dreamed the dream and got to watch it happen, in our teenage years.
There is currently no active project to build another reusable space truck!
It is highly unlikely that another conventional landing, reusable, long endurance space craft will be built. Perhaps the Chinese may prove me wrong?
So watch the news, but better still watch NASA TV on the internet. This IS the end of the first era of manned space flight innovation!
The next big step in manned space flight will probably go beyond the Moon - when and who will lead that project is still unknown.
Thanks NASA, I have enjoyed the journey with you.
