Sadly gone from flight. We NEED a shuttle replacement soon.

We do, it's called Orion and it will be launched on the Space Launch System (SLS). In December of 2014, the first Orion Spacecraft was lofted into flight on a Delta IV Heavy. This mission was called EFT-1 (Engineering Flight Test-1), Next up will be the second Orion Spacecraft for the EM-1 Flight sometime in 2018. This flight will also represent the SLS vehicle's first flight. This flight will essentially send Orion around the moon and back again. The first manned flight for Orion isn't scheduled till 2021 at he earliest!

Cool. I really want to see the U.S. back in the Space Program instead of relying on others to lift our freight

lets hope so other wise they have to wait on the russian Progress to get to the ISS.

We've actually got the go ahead from the Russians to make our attempts for tomorrow and Thursday. If we miss those dates, we loose the launch window and have to postpone until July 27. If that occurs it will push STS-128, now scheduled for August 18 out to about August 28.

Sounds good. Are they crawling her back to VAB for the inspection?

Amazing shot, Jim. This one might be my favorite.
BTW, I heard they scrubbed the launch again for a hydrogen leak. Gosh, I can't figure out why they're being retired....
I'm hoping I get to make it out there for a launch before they retire them. Have they set a hard date for last flight yet?

Historical. For me, hysterical as I can't be up in time to check it out. I'm 200 miles down the coast - but did photograph the last trails. Great shot. Marcia
