I followed the Space Shuttle program pretty heavily as a kid and got to see a few launches from the Cape.

Truly loved the innovative look and the futuristic (lol, at the time) feel.

In retrospect, it was a good try with bad funding, and an exceptionally expensive satellite positioner that never lived up to its promised turn around time.

I loved it, but it kind of was an objective flop.
