When the shuttle flew over this region, it flew over my son's elementary school, and the kids spontaneously broke into a chant of USA..USA..USA.

When I heard that, I was both happy and sad. Happy that the kids were excited about something, but sad that they were chanting in pride of their country ending manned spaceflight.

SpaceX's Dragon makes me a little optimistic, but it just isn't the same.
