Such a sophisticated and great effort from all the team members. Thank you for your hard work guys♡

The shuttle looks so wacky in 2020, it's a plane stuck to what we imagined a 'rocket' to look like in the 50s.

[@slimxshady6111]

@Elemental Entity I agree I don't think the shuttle looks wacky, but what about SpaceX's rockets look like the 60's?

[@benraphael3310]

@Ben Raphael Instablaster ;)

[@benraphael3310]

@Ronnie Atticus i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@benraphael3310]

@Ronnie Atticus it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@boytechnichian]

No doubt that the current method of launching astronauts is safer, more efficient, more cost effective and generally better in most measurable ways. But damn the Space Shuttle was so much cooler.

[@martino6684]

I agree

[@Sarah.knimph1975]

NASA's Scientists, Engineers, Architects, Designers, Specialists and Analysts ~ thanks for remembering ME the Missions of Geminies, Mercuries, Apollos and Space Shuttles . . .

[@familia3sgte]

This is not entirely correct. We all know that Atlantis will be used again later to rescue Spike Spiegel and his Swordfish 2 in earth’s orbit.

[@ilustrados9884]

When will it going to reuse again?

[@Snail2G]

Imagine the carnage (and cost!) if that thing fell off the crane once it got to the top..sheesh, I wouldn't wanna be around haha
