The shuttle really is an amazing piece of technology. Its nice to see the behind the scenes aspect to showcase the work done by the many excellent people who keep the shuttle program going.

Not to hijack this thread, but on a related note,I believe there is a few people on here that may have worked for NASA. I wonder what their take is on the shuttle replacement? Ares or Jupiter Direct? Im no rocket scientist lol, but the Jupiter program sounds like it might be the better way? I just read an interesting story in Popular mechanics and it seems like there is a lot of controversy surrounding it and i wonder what the experts take on it all is.
