An image I put together last night after reading through acres of material about the last year of Space Shuttle operations.
It doesn't seem like two minutes since I was being thrilled about the news of the first shuttle being named 'Enterprise'.
Where next I wonder?

sad that the president is killing our manned space program, it's unfortunate he has no Vison for space other than to look back at earth and study the climate.
:(Agreed. What is the point of going into space, if all you do is look at the ground?
I must ask, Unusualsuspex, would you mind too much if I put a copy of your pic on my yahoo group page? All credit to you, of course. I just think it's a better memorial for the era of the space shuttle, than I could come up with.
Also, Boeing appears to be developing the replacement for the shuttles. Take a look at the X-37 and X-40 and tell me that those aren't unmanned prototypes for a manned vehicle.
Bush scrapped the X-40 project in favor of the constelation project, now we've canceled all manned flight indefinately
Manned spaceflight is a boondoggle. Nothing we need to do in space requires the risk and expense of manned spaceflight. Looked at objectively, the Shuttle was an expensive failure, with neither the reusability or versatility we were promised.
Of course, right now, we can't even afford non-commerical UNmanned space travel.
Bankrupt nations have to make hard choices. Which children would you have go unfed, which elderly without Medicare for your "expanded horizons"?
Not a problem at all mate. Sorry for the delay in reply but I'm useless! :rolleyes:
two major things kept us from going to the future
money and eager
that's all i have to say, think about, do something against!
The first image is this

Second Image:
I figure in a white coat holds his face in his gloved hand. Out of his other hand, fall papers.
The caption below reads "I wonder where Gunter went?" Above his head reads the word "PLACE"
Third image has a young girl (Kari Byron if I had my druthers) kneeling behind shattered models of Ares V and Saturn V. She is in the same stance as Mary Ann Vecchio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kent_State_massacre.jpg
Above her are the words "IN PLACE"
Fourth image:
There are no people in this shot--and the full signage is at last visible http://members.optushome.com.au/spaceflight/images/comp%2034/pad%2034-9.jpg
In the next photo we just see part of the word ABAN fill the frame.
In the last picture, we see a close-up of bare concrete.
The opening picture--with the circular section, is the O in Obama.
To advertise the multi-series art pieces, you have a close up of the last word "..ACE" And a faded photo of the first Moon landing, taped to the concrete with simple, yellow tape.
The exhibit is simply to be called...FALL.

The rest is silence.
only one, the conspiracy of $.
to me, talking not only about u.s. residents, it's that people especially, the educated elite has lost the goal, and everything is done just for a personal fame, eager and of course $$$.
we don't pull on the same rope no longer, as back in the 50's & 60's, masterminds have been discredited, because they was not comformable to this.
or they might not had the right contacts or reputation to be heard.
if we really are willing to step into the future and there is a good one up ahead, we have to believe in that and start to work together, instead for personal fame.
i'm a swiss resident, no big country. but engineers like sulzer or scherrer have been replaced with people interested only in money, and not the thing itself, they don't care what kind of job they will do, as long as they earn enough.
so datas will be hidden, turned around, misused just for a personal goal. knowledge, like all things, is useless if we don't share!
all this is only good for scorpions and snakes, if you know what i mean, and we forgot that we should fight them back, instead to glorify them.
example, yes i wanted to wrote this allready yesterday and i should had:
5 years ago we had a accident in one of our nuclear PP's, no big thing, only a burned generator.
but a huge and unique one, only FIVE has been build worldwide in this size, each a new concept, they have an output of >1 Giga Watt, designed by brown boveri.
what i want to say is, they had call for almost 80 years aged engineers, those who build them. just to understand what was going on. i don't want explain what exactly, this would take me to long and my english might be not good enough.
having a nice title and eating donuts in front of your computer didn't get us far!
i quite don't remember who statet "we will never get a saturn up to moon no more" just because of that, imo.
further, we should stop immidiatly making politicians responsible for it! basta!
think about the big companys, they control everything and have allready more power then any community on this planet.
and i fear companys like Nestle, they buy sweetwater wells all over the world, just because some have seen that you can control the whole human race with that in a near future, stop them right now! or we are doomed!
they are willing to cheat and lie whenever they can.
i don't want to see humanity in a mad max scenario, do you?
you know orwells 1984, only one thing is wrong in his scenario, it won't be political systems that will control our minds, it's the power of money and the companies keeping it for themselfes.
a statement from the chief mastermind, long time ago:
"go lift every stone, turn every bush around, to find and slay all scorpions and snakes".
i'm shure he didn't ment animals by that.
but as long as we dance around the golden calf, nothing will change ever.
