Just happened to catch on NASA TV, OB105 piggyback take-off from Edwards. That 747 was up like it was no 'big' ordeal. The mass size of it all is amazing.
Starting to feel the loss of it all. My congrats to all and whoever was a part of the shuttle programs. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif

I bet it will be a long time before we have something to match or beat the shuttle program.
