Shuttle Program Comes To An End - From Space Coast to Ghost Coast

Shuttle Program Comes To An End - From Space Coast to Ghost Coast

 

This post by Lenn Harley’s post - Atlantis - Home Safe inspired me to write about what happens next as the Space Coast turns into a Ghost Coast as pink slips will be handed out to over 2,000 employees by week’s end.  

 

Unemployment - Rocket Scientists such a specialized field, where will they jobs - Russia?

 

Economy - For cities surrounding Space Coast like Melbourne, Titusville, Cocoa, Palm Bay will tourism be the only resource left?

 

Space Program - Why is it that we have not taken this to the next level?

 

American Astronauts will be hitching a ride to the space stations with a Russian space ship at $60 million a seat - Who really won the cold war?

 

Barely remembering the landing of the moon, watching from the backyard quite a few lift offs, shocked and saddened by setback as the Challenger and Columbia exploded. Although I never seen a liftoff first hand as the earth rumbled, I never missed a moment whether it was on TV or in my backyard watching the space shuttles.  It saddens me today, no in fact I’m angry that such a magnificent program comes to a halt because of politics.
