An End of An Era

Almost one million people showed up today to see the last space shuttle take off on the other coast here in Florida.  For the past 30 years we've almost become immune to the take off and reentry into our atmosphere, but it's truly been an amazing feat.   We take so many things for granted and the brain power at NASA was one of them.  Now, I'm not going to enter into the debate on the federal monies spent for the program, I'm just amazed at all of the programs that have happened thanks to good old American brain power. 

I value scientists, researchers, brain surgeons, artists, etc.  and I wish we gave them the same superstar status that we as a society give to movie stars and sports stars.

 I'm a pushover for a nerd.  I'll take brain power any day!
