And shouldn't someone have remembered to shift that cement mixer before trying to launch? :D

He jested, quaff'd and swore."

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!

On most launches, I can see these things rise into the upper atmosphere from my back yard. Pretty fascinating. It does look as though it needs to be retired.

Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

It's all part of the formula...What, you think they really are fiddling with expensive ceramic plating on those things?
"Hey, Vinnie, we got another panel comin' loose; bring 'round the cement, eh?"


On a side note, I'd heard that NASA had hired two contractors from Canada to conduct regular repairs on the Shuttle...

How does the Pilot climb into his seat before the launch?

Slan,
D. :-?
And many a poor man that has roved,
Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

I just have to look at a pic like that and my nose starts to itch like mad.
