The final mission for Space Shuttle Atlantis. This would not be so sad, the retirement of the shuttle fleet, if we had something new on the horizon. Something to get excited about.

Sadly, our next great opportunity in space has been stolen from us by short sighted politicians, who'd rather spend the money to build high speed train from LA to Vegas for a prominent senator. Little projects to give a few people a little work for a few months to build some politician's pet project.
Instead of devoting resources to a national goal which will create new jobs for decades to come, new technologies, which will ultimately better all mankind.
No, why would we want to spend taxpayer money on the things hope and dreams are made of. there's your Audacity of Hope.
No lottery win yet. Maybe next week.
It's long past time, to Boldly Go!
