The video of her speech was originally filmed by the Daily Telegraph’s Matthew Moore but has since been uploaded onto YouTube and one version has already been watched over one million times.

The space shuttle Atlantis ended its 12-day mission on Thursday morning at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and with it NASA’s 30-year-old Space Shuttle Program came to a close.
Whilst manned space flight will continue, many still feel that the cancellation of the Shuttle program without a planned replacement is a retrograde step for NASA. The Shuttle, despite the Challenger and Columbia disasters, has captured the imaginations of the planet for three decades.
