[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 22752, member: 67"] Re: Discovery's last ride. Buying spare parts from eBay... when was the last time you saw a Zilog Z-80 or an Intel 8080? It's the end of an era, for sure, and I'm not confident in the USA policy of making space exploration a private, corporate affair. Time will tell. One of my favorite gigs involved several retired astronauts and military aviators. Without exception a bunch of very classy, smart and amazingly humble guys. The space program paid off in human terms, too. It's our loss, now. [/QUOTE]
