Missed seeing a shuttle at KSC in 2008 by a bees whisker. Rolled back after hail damage. I guess the only way I'll see one now is to visit a final resting place somewhere :(

Its such a shame they will never fly in space again. I hope this is NOT the end of the manned exploration of space using a reusable craft .
