And last I heard we are going to be building a new shuttle by, I want to say 2020 or so. Or at least that's what the plan was when they were decommissioning this shuttle.

I've been checking since launch, but alas, no visible passes over Vermont for the entire flight. We've had a couple passes each day morning to early afternoon, but they've been after sunrise. Sad.
