So sad, these craft have faithfully carried our astronauts for over 29 years and now it's all coming to an end. :'(
I'm going to miss them, but I am thankful I have been able to see a launch and see one up close.
I will be watching on TV after school tomorrow if the flight is not delayed again. With all the failures and glitches with the shuttle the past week or so, I pray the crew will make it home safe.

According to NASA's website, there's going to be another shuttle launch in late February. So it's not quite yet the time to say goodbye. :)
