There is so much talk about the impracticality of the shuttle system, but man, it is something out of science fiction. Makes me proud when some of the other things we Yanks do make me want to hide.

Re: The Baikonur Cosmodrome pictures
Yes impressive but still scares me every time it flies, this Hubble mission is going to very big and very dangerous, I wish them luck, I also have to say every time the shuttle does fly I am a little nervous until I know its back on the ground again safe.
