Settling Shuttles

NASA has begun the process of sending space shuttles to their next homes-- museums around the country where they will be on permanent display.

Shuttle Discovery has been sent to the Smithsonian near Washington, D. C.  Other shuttles will be displayed in New York, Los Angeles, and the Kennedy Space Center.

The shuttles retired as they always were-- the most complex spacecraft yet produced by mankind.  That is finally a discouraging note.  After thirty years, we have made no progress in building better manned spacecraft.
