The dispersal of America's Space Shuttle fleet, the transition from working spacecraft to museum pieces, continues apace. Today's move is the least bittersweet of the four, since the Enterprise was never a spacecraft & has been a museum piece for decades, but tears are entirely possible when the Atlantis is installed at the Kennedy Space Center & the Endeavour, the youngest of the fleet, is transported to California. This is the end, the premature, entirely arbitrary end, of American manned spaceflight; surely this cannot be the change you voted for in '08: Enterprise-link.
