>Only have vague memories of the shuttle actually flying.
I'm so sorry fren, it was a different time. Humans going to space on a big futuristic-looking spaceplane was commonplace, people even got bored of it.
For me it was seeing Pathfinder land and deploy Sojourner that fired my imagination for Mars, Shuttles were cool and all but driving a little car on Mars was magical to me. Fingers crossed for Perseverance.
