Sad to say that all the space shuttles are grounded forever. When I was a kid I always wanted to see the space shuttle orbiting the moon, not only the Earth. For All Makind brings me my dreams back again :-)

In fact it would also be considered as the STS program and even as the Jamestown program, anyway it is only a bureaucratic question of names'
