Discovery Is Up

And I just can't get worked up about it. I am glad that they are up and that all goes well so far. I have had professional contact with members of the crew in the past, and wish them well. Yet, this rings hollow for me.

The shuttle system is an outdated kludge, and needed replacement years ago. Today shows it can fly, but it can't fly reliably.

I may post more on this later, but for now I feel I am watching at best a last hurrah, an extolling of a space Maginot line.
