Tin can

I know it started life as a propaganda tool, and it still is that (though it is a weirdly ambiguous propaganda tool). I know it costs taxpayers zillions of dollars that could be spent on -- well, you name it.

But I still am awed and captivated by human spaceflight in general, and by the space shuttle in particular. I would go up in that thing in a heartbeat.

Welcome home, sailors.
