NASA Commemorates Space Shuttle’s 30th Anniversary, Reveals Display Sites for Orbiters
On the anniversary of the first space shuttle flight, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden joined Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana, and STS-1 shuttle pilot Robert Crippen to pay tribute to the space shuttle era at the KSC in Florida. During the event, Bolden named the four institutions that will receive a shuttle orbiter for permanent display.
I still can't believe we're retiring the Space Shuttles without having a replacement in place.
Thanks NASA for everything you've done to inspire space exploration. I know you had no option but to retire the Shuttles, so please know that you have our full support.
I hope one day we can focus more on this amazing endeavor, instead of wasting precious time and resources on senseless bickering.
That video should be aired on the History channel in 20+ years!
Houston got robbed.
I will miss the shuttle I was born with them, I was born in 1972 when Nixon announced the shuttle program, and on april 12th 1981 the first flight of columbia was the day of my first Communion in church. From that day I always followed the flights of this fantastic machines. I watched them taking off and land couple of times at KSC and I was sorroued for the to tragedies.
So I can say the shuttle were all my life.
I will miss them, thanks NASA for all you have done for humanity.
wow a lawyer doing narrating work
@Androly umm… by bickering you mean?
This is just a play for the gallaries. USA ,Kina and Russia have zero gravity and propulsionsystems that makes this crap really really old.
@Androly well I came to this vid to say just what you did so thanks for saving me the time.
Honored to be mentioned in such a speech! Congratulations NASA for creating such a beautiful piece of art
