Howdy Gang,
I guess it's time for me to confess something I've been holding back. We have one more Space Shuttle flight coming in April and that will be it. It saddens me to know the end is near even though I saw it coming for a while now.
As for me, I'm transferring from Boeing Houston to Boeing Seattle since they are planning to axe a whole lot of us in the space division. I'll be moving in May. No more rockets and space ships for me. Sigh. I'll be going to work on airplanes for a while. I'm sad, but at the same time looking forward to learning something new.
Life gets boring when you get stuck in a rut doing the same stuff over and over again. Is this forever? Maybe or maybe not. When it comes to the future, it's best to take a deep breath and jump right in.

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

I am sad that you're having to pack up and move too, Sam. But, maybe this will just be the beginning of a new adventure. Seattle could be fun. But, pack your rain gear.
what rain, there is no rain in seattle.............. I'm shipping over some gum boots

That is incredibly sad news sam.
I really don't like hearing about the possibility that the US would abandon its space programs entirely.
Best of luck with your new career.
Life Imitating Art.. ect. Where's my damn hover car... Spielberg is a lying son of a bitch..

Have you considered a job at Lotus yet?I know. If we had colonies on the moon you can be sure I'd be there.

Always sad to hear of things like this - it's been such a major part of our lives for so long and sad to see it end. It has done so much for us that maybe - just maybe - they will give it a decade or two and start up with vigour again (assuming we still have enough fuel to launch a rocket!)
Let us know about Seattle, and like JTOG says, how will this affect your husband's work?

Jim, Demonlawyer,
My husband's boss will let him work virtually from Seattle. So we will still have both our incomes. We'll just be setting up a home office for him at the house.
I'll definitely keep you posted about life in Washington State. Sure it will be soggy but a soggy paycheck is better than no paycheck.

That's bad news. Freep is right though, it's all about priorities and when they get them wrong its the good and honest people who suffer.
I wish you all the best though Sam... I'm sure you will find a way. If I recall, some of the worlds most successful people endured hardship like this before breaking loose and taking the world by storm!
