This is a big day for technology, but Ben is just too dumb to comprehend it.
Aye. And if that's coming from you, he's obviously failed somewhere.

The Shuttle program wasn't originally supposed to go for this long.

So if this is the last of the shuttles, what is NASA doing as far as launching people into space from now on? Knowing the funding they're getting they'll prolly have to launch astronauts into space with giant slingshots.

Forward in technology and backward in common sense.

Example - the bloody iPad. It's a high-tech piece of equipment that could be designed for many practical applications but was instead designed to be used only for showing off or faffing about.
