I do have many questions to ask about this magnificent flying machine but instead looking for answers I would like to extend my congratulations to the team of professionals that created this wonderful mechanical bird. Me as a commercial pilot and C.F.I. everytime the Space Shuttle goes up part of me goes with the crew wishim them a safe return. In my opinion this "bird" should be with us for many more years to come because it is not replacement to this wonderful mechanical bird; either way I wish to all of the people that they go up with it I wish a happy and safety return on landing.
