The Last Shuttle: The Atlantis

On July 8th at 11:26 a.m., the space shuttle Atlantis successfully lifted off from The Kennedy Space Center in Florida. One million people cheered and cried as they watched the take off. According to President Obama's 2011 budget, it will most assuredly be be the last shuttle launch ever. The plan is to ship the last few, fully working shuttles off to museums to collect dust. After Atlantis returns to Earth, it too will be a museum exhibit.

Obama's Plan to Dismantle the Program

With the nation's deficit so high, it is understandable that economic cuts have to be made. However, the President isn't just cutting back the program he has made it inert . He is closing down the shuttle program and the astronauts living and training quarters. Yet he is going to keep the scientific laboratory on the base open. After all, it was NASA's science that lead to communications satellites, GPS (a great help to our troops) , wireless remote applications, and the internet. These are all wonderful things that have applications beyond space travel.
