    As retired Shuttles majestically grace our cityscapes, we shed a silent tear, not for the end of an era but for the absence of a new one.

        @neiltyson That is cold as ice. Which is good, because we can apply it to the burn you just issued to those washington fat cats.

        @neiltyson It is a shame. We need another challenge like Pres Kenned when he said we'd be on the moon. We need a mission to Mars w/people.
