A friend of mine took the pic in your avatar... he passed away several years ago while flying chase/support in an F16 for a UAV test flight in California.

Hard to believe that the era of US manned spaceflight is coming to an end (at least for the foreseeable future). 30-year-olds have never known a country without a shuttle program, and 50-year-olds have never known a country without a manned space program.
