Just back from watching the last ever space shuttle launch. Having seen the first one by accident 30 years ago – they were a couple of days late with the launch and fell into my window of opportunity – I thought it would be a good idea to do the last one by design.
No. 135 wasn’t as impressive as No. 1, which had a white-painted external fuel tank instead of a nasty old “rusty after being left out in the rain for a couple of years” finish. The first 3 launches looked like proper spaceships instead of refugees from a scrapyard.
