What are we applauding you for?

You're the one who told us "you know who" had killed NASA.

Looks pretty darned alive to me.

The Space Shuttle was a '71 Mercury Marquis with 1.5 million miles and 40 winters of salt rotted floorboards on it.

Me too. That heavy lifter must've shook the ground.

We went to the LA Museum a while back and got up close to the Endeavor. I should post up some of the pics I took. Too bad they mothballed the Vandenberg AFB shuttle launch facility before they ever used it out here in California.
