Last Flight of Noah's Ark...

The Last Flight Of Noah's Ark is a Disney film released by Buena Vista Distribution on June 25, 1980. The film stars Elliott Gould, Geneviève Bujold and Ricky Schroder. (Wiki)

A poignant note for yesterday's last flight of Discovery before retirement to the Smithsonian Institution. Noah's Ark; the Epic of Gilgamesh et al are essentially, stories of survival, using engineering principles to do so. I feel humans must become a space faring species, even if the only extraterrestrials we eventually encounter are our own grandchildren.
