Hello all,
Seeing as things have pretty much died here, i thought I'd reopen discussion a little.
So long, shuttle.
The first of the last nine shuttle missions launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (US) went up two days ago to make some final repairs in the Hubble space telescope. Soon, the space shuttle will be a thing of the past, as will orbiting laboratories.
What impact do you think this will have on the welfare and scientific expansion of the whole world?

Honestly I think it will be for the better. Why? You might ask? Because science is about moving forward, not about clinging to old ideas. In order to advance both technologically and scientifically we must be willing to change. As our knowledge of space and astronomy grows we become better adapted to be more efficient in how we handle that knowledge. We've come a long way since Sputnik and we will go a lot further.

As stated, with the loss of the space shuttle, we also lose space labs. what kind of affect do you think that will have?
