NASA's Final Shuttle: The End of an Error?

Interesting article on the shuttle program. In the article he mentioned the Mercury program and makes a comparison with the shuttle. My sentiments are the same as his; I just substituted Gemini.

Thoses are some fantastic views of the moon, John. Not quite as good as men or a rover on the surface, but not a bad substitute. smile

What's that wild eyed witch going to promise next?

Rod, It was only a couple of years ago that gasoline was $2.00/gallon. Probably not in the "People's Republic", but elsewhere it was.

Yes in indeed, the MSNBC barrel has no bottom. Al Sharpton has his own show now. I'll give him about a month to be fired or suspended. That's a badge of honor at MSNBC. If you haven't been fired or suspended from MSNBC you're just not being foul enough. If you haven't seen Al in action here's a tidbit of what you're missing. Now this is some quality journalism.

Just wonder how many people are actually watching Al Sharpton? :S
