NASA’s aging workhorse returns to space - Yahoo! News
CAPE CANAVERAL, United States (AFP) - The space shuttle has long been NASA’s pride, but the aging US fleet is now slated for retirement in 2010, when the International Space Station is finished.
Developed in the 1970s, following NASA’s glory days of moon missions, the shuttle was the first US manned launch vehicle designed to be reused, and the only one still in service.
Congrats to NASA on the launch!
