NASA announced today that Discovery and Atlantis were powered down for the final time in preparation for their eventual display in Washington and Cape Canaveral respectively. Both of the orbiters went through a power-on procedure to retract their Ku-band antennas and robotic arm. The end of the Space Shuttle era is bittersweet - the Shuttle allowed space travel to become relatively common place by opening up space travel to more than just military test pilots. The Shuttle pioneered new technologies such as the MMU, and long-duration power supplies for the Space Station and eventual flights to the Moon and Mars. The Shuttle was also a victim of its own success, suffering 14 casualties during its tenure as America's Manned Space Program. Regardless, the Shuttle was still an engineering marvel, and she performed her mission well.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in
your article seem to be running off the screen in
Chrome. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let
you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.
Kudos

We can't do anything because we don't have a hold on our fate. Our travel policies hold the same fate. sometimes we don't want to cancel our trips but we got stuck in bad situations. eva air flight change policy gives flexibility to the traveller and the liberty of cancelling their flight at the last minute. Cancellations can be done in just a few minutes. After this you have to wait for 7 days for the refund.
