As I was watching Endeavour take off this morning via TV, no doubt like many of you out there, I was wondering, after 30 years of the space shuttle, what's next for our amerikanska rymdfärjeprogram with President Obama and his successors?

Fortunately, while local Miami TV stations were pondering dollops of trivialities, TV4 correspondent Elizabet Frerot was in the right place to ask the right people -the Kennedy Space Center, where NASA astronaut Nicholas Patrick and official Allard Bentel reminisce and ponder NASA's next step into deeper outer space with Lockheed Martin's Orion.
