I know this is a term we’ve heard a hundred times. Sometimes it’s applicable, otherwise it’s somewhat overblown.

But, because this marks a major end to one of the largest components of the American space program (some might say the only, or last remaining component) it genuinely might be a term that applies here.

The moon landing occurred in my life time – so it’s with special sadness to see this last lift off and know that there’ll be no more.
