For all intensive purposes, the US space program is done and over. After 135 missions over 30 years, the last shuttle launched and landed this past July. Some blame the program’s slow demise on cost, others site lack of interest from both the public and corporations who could have helped shoulder the expenses. Whatever the reason, it seems like the US is done with “the final frontier.” Sometimes your SEO might feel a little bit like a space mission. You’re heading off into the unknown, not sure what you’re going to find, how long it is going to take to get there or if it’ll prove worth it in the end.

Hi Nick.

If you're old enough, you may remember that the U.S. lagged behind the Soviet Union every single step of the way in the original "Space Race". They had the 1st satellite - Sputnik (responsible for the U.S.' "Defense Education Act of 1958"), the 1st man in orbit, the 1st 2 men in orbit, the 1st woman in orbit, the 1st space walk, the 1st space docking - right up until we landed on the Moon in 1969, we were behind. Competition - that was the motive - with the prestige of the "Free World" in the balance. Those were heady, exciting days!
