Sad that this mission was the last time human hands will ever touch the
Hubble. With the Shuttle program being shut down, it will no longer be
able to be serviced.

I still find it hard to believe they can launch that thing.
What a triumph of science and dedication to a task.
I'm so proud of all those people behind it.
And the astronauts especially.
"The Right Stuff" fits them all well.
