I was brought up LOVING NASA and everything they were achieving and it really does pain me to see that there is no longer any Space Shuttle Programme (although there is something on the Horizon I understand?) and that they continue to refute what is so plainly true.

PERHAPS they'll one day return to this NASA of old? or maybe i am a little naïve and it was never all about the adventure, exploration & discovery of SPACE for everyone?

Though i'd show you folks that are interested my father's Christmas Present

COOL huh? a Medallion beautifully created and embossed showing the Apollo 13 disaster which contains metal from one of the binder rings on Apollo 13 at the time.
